We are committed to: Teaching in a positive, exciting way; encouraging student expertise and curiosity; providing models for study and learning that can be used in any discipline.

 

THE MATHEMATICS PROGRAM

Two Mathematics Degrees are offered at BYU-Idaho: a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Education and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Applied Mathematics. Students may also minor in Mathematics.

 

We provide students the opportunity to explore and use the beautiful and powerful language of mathematics.

 

Students who major in mathematics can choose from a wide variety of careers from forecasting next months weather to predicting the winner of an upcoming election, from designing insurance policies to planning large scale irrigation projects, from teaching students the Pythagorean Theorem to creating new theorems. Mathematicians discover and explore the properties of abstract structures and apply them to almost every human endeavor.
