Student Learning Outcomes
This plan addresses three general student learning outcomes: breadth and depth of mathematical knowledge, ability to communicate mathematics clearly, and facility with mathematical reasoning. Broad mathematical knowledge implies a basic understanding of the theory and applications of calculus, set theory, algebraic structures, and probability.
Students should be able to communicate effectively and be comfortable collaborating with others on mathematical problems. Mathematical reasoning involves the ability to read and understand formal mathematics, construct rigorous proofs, and solve mathematical problems, as well as an understanding of the context and applications of mathematics, and facility with the use of technology in a mathematical context.
