Mathematical Sciences majors and minors

The Department of Mathematical Sciences provides each cadet the
opportunity to gain the mathematical education essential to progressive and
continuing development throughout a career as a Regular Army officer.

Emphasis is placed on achieving intellectual discipline, mastery of reasoning,
understanding of mathematical concepts, skill in practical applications of
mathematics and appreciation for the role of mathematics in the military. The
core requirement in mathematics is satisfied by successful completion or
validation of the standard program. Cadets with weak backgrounds in algebra
and trigonometry will be required to complete a course in pre-calculus prior to
undertaking the standard program.

In addition to the core program, the Department of Mathematical Sciences has
responsibility for a major in the mathematical
sciences and, in conjunction with the Department of Systems Engineering, a
major in operations research. Also, the department offers two minors: Network Science and Applied Statistics.
