Program Information
Mathematics minors at Northeastern Illinois
University may choose
from two programs, which determines both the set of required and the set of
elective courses in mathematics:
·
Applied Mathematics Minor
·
Elementary Education and Humanities Mathematics Minor
·
Mathematics provides tools and techniques that can
be applied to solve problems in many fields.
With a minor in Mathematics, students learn to apply these tools, and
consequently improve their career opportunities. Our programs are designed to prepare
Mathematics minors for jobs currently offered by industry, business, government
and educational institutions. The
choice of a program should reflect the student’s academic interests as well as
career plans.
The Mathematics Department has institutional memberships
in American Mathematical Society, Society for Industrial and Applied
Mathematics, and Association for Women in Mathematics. Mathematics minors are encouraged to take an
active part in the Math Club, which is open to all students with an interest in
mathematics. Mathematics minors are
also encouraged to attend the weekly seminar series in the mathematical
sciences sponsored by the Computational Dynamics in
Physics and Populations Research Community and the Society of Physics Students.
