Mathematical Sciences

Real world problem solving.

Mathematics is at the core of a liberal arts education–it is inherent in music, art, philosophy, logic, and the social and natural sciences. At Northland, you’ll explore the relationships between mathematics and these other disciplines, while also working collaboratively with the mathematics faculty to develop comprehensive skills in traditional mathematics.

Graduate with an appreciation for the centrality of mathematics and have the experience to solve complex problems by modeling environmental, social, and physical phenomena. With these skills you’ll be prepared for graduate work in mathematics, engineering, and other disciplines or for work in a variety of fields including teaching, business, and government.
