The Department of Mathematics at Biola University provides
several areas of concentration in addition to a basic core curriculum. The
student is allowed considerable flexibility in the major, depending upon
vocational or professional goals. Our student labs are equipped with
numerous Pentium and Apple PowerPC workstations. We also have a Computer
Science Alcove equipped with the latest Pentium, Pentium Pro and Pentium
II platforms running either Windows NT or Linux.
The department endeavors to provide:
-
a strong foundational core curriculum for the student desiring to pursue graduate study in both the pure and applied fields of mathematical science,
-
course work and training to prepare students for applied mathematical sciences (statistics, computer science, operations research and actuarial science) and the field of teaching,
-
support courses for the curriculum of other majors (biological science, physical science, engineering, business and nursing) and
-
courses basic to gaining some knowledge of mathematics as part of a liberal arts education.
The department provides an attractive and thorough offering in mathematics as part of God's creation and there is a concerted effort to integrate faith and learning.
