Pure Mathematics

This emphasis is designed to provide a strong foundation for students pursuing graduate study in mathematics. It also offers preparation for fields such as statistics and engineering or a future in teaching math. Because there is a massive need for mathematicians and very few people to help fill the gap, our graduates have diverse career possibilities.

• Develop professional knowledge of fundamental algebraic structures and number theory
• Develop mastery of the rigorous development and theory of calculus
• Study the history of mathematics
• Develop professional knowledge of the properties of complex numbers and complex-valued functions

All of our faculty and staff affirm our full doctrinal statement, which has remained essentially unchanged since our founding. We believe and teach:

• The inerrancy of the Bible
• The tri-unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
• The total depravity of man
• The necessity of salvation by grace alone through faith alone
• The coming earthly kingdom of Christ

• Demonstrate a working knowledge of fundamental algebraic structures (e.g. groups, rings, and fields).
• Demonstrate mastery of the rigorous development and theory of calculus.
• Demonstrate a working knowledge of number theory and a familiarity with the history of mathematics.
• Demonstrate a basic working knowledge of the properties of complex numbers and complex-valued functions.
