Prospective Students
Mathematics at CSUB
Mathematics is a unique, valuable, exciting, enjoyable, and rewarding science. We provide a collection of mathematics courses designed to challenge and stimulate all open minded and thoughtful students by combining flexibility, applicability, and historical perspective. Depth of understanding and appreciation are not sacrificed to quantity; major emphasis is upon inquiry, creativity, methods, techniques, and thought processes. Job perspectives and salaries are better than in other disciplines.
The goal of our program is to discover both the importance and beauty of mathematics by combining lectures with other workable approaches to learning. A student is encouraged to interpret and communicate mathematically with others, to follow self direction and in depth study, and to investigate relations between mathematical concepts. A professor acts as a resource person, providing necessary feedback.
