The world is full of randomness. Governments, businesses, and individuals need to make choices and predict the likely outcomes. If the mathematics of randomness interests you, consider this degree. Probability and statistics make up an important branch of mathematics that is relevant in every field of science, social science, and engineering. Students seeking a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with an emphasis in Probability and Statistics study chance and the collection and interpretation of data. This major caters to students aspiring to attend graduate school in statistics, economics or a related subject. The University of Arizona offers an Accelerated Master's Program in Statistics for those looking to streamline their higher education experience. Students master mathematical theory and hone their logic and reasoning skills in this major, positioning themselves for in-demand roles across business, tech and research. Students must complete a minor outside of the Department of Mathematics.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Apply computational methods; Math majors should be able to apply computational methods and mathematical concepts to analyze scientific problems
Apply mathematical models to current problems; Math majors should be able to critically evaluate and extend selected mathematical models in the current scientific literature.
Create valid proofs; Students should be able to identify an appropriate proof strategy and almost always able to create a correct proof using multiple strategies as appropriate.
Define Terms Precisely; Precision is essential in mathematics, and a crucial skill for math majors is to learn to define mathematical terms precisely.
Effective communication of results; Math majors should be able to effectively communicate results to non-specialized audiences in written and verbal form.
Recognize valid arguments; Logical rigor is a critical component of mathematical argumentation. We expect math majors to develop the ability to recognize when arguments are valid, and identify logical gaps and flaws.
