Mathematics: Concentration in Teaching
Bachelor of Arts
About this program
The Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics: Concentration in Teaching gives you the math foundation and classroom experience needed to become a secondary school teacher. This pathway prepares you for a teaching credential. You study calculus, algebra, real analysis, geometry, probability and statistics while also learning proof skills and programming. You take a capstone field study course for future teachers and round out your studies with 12 units in science or engineering.
Program Curriculum and Requirements
Program Learning Outcomes
- Develop basic programming skills and use of various software such as Mathematica, Matlab, SAS, and R; apply these skills to solve problems in optimization, applied linear algebra, differential equations, and statistical inference.
- Formulate and analyze mathematical conjectures, construct proofs in sound mathematical English, and use these skills to write proofs of statements in linear algebra, abstract algebra, and analysis.
- Achieve knowledge integration both in content and practice, for instance, by solving problems that arise from the mathematical modeling of practical situations.
- Communicate effectively to a variety of audiences using oral, written, and visual modes.
