Mathematics Assessment

The following learning outcomes are applicable to all Math majors, independently of the program.

Mastery of Fundamental Concepts: Students should demonstrate a deep understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts included in core Mathematics courses.
Problem-solving Skills: Students will develop advanced problem-solving skills through the application of rigorous mathematical reasoning, logical deduction, and creative thinking to tackle complex mathematical problems across various domains.
Mathematical Rigor and Proof: Students will acquire proficiency in constructing rigorous mathematical arguments and proofs, demonstrating logical coherence, clarity, and precision in mathematical reasoning, and understanding the significance of mathematical rigor in establishing the validity of mathematical results.
Abstract Mathematical Thinking: Students will cultivate the ability to think abstractly and generalize mathematical concepts, enabling them to recognize patterns, formulate conjectures, and develop mathematical theories that extend beyond specific examples to encompass broader mathematical structures and phenomena.
Communication and Collaboration: Students will develop effective communication skills, both written and oral, for conveying mathematical ideas clearly and persuasively to diverse audiences. Additionally, they will learn to collaborate effectively with peers, engage in mathematical discourse, and work collaboratively on mathematical problems and projects.
