Math Minor for SoM Students
Employers, especially in today's technology-centered world, tend to be very impressed by applicants with a proven aptitude for mathematics. Bill Gates and Larry Ellison, for example, were both math students. The ability to understand and think about problems on a more abstract level, solve them elegantly, and then provide clear solutions is regarded highly. The required courses for a minor in mathematics are more abstract and rigorous in nature than the familiar calculus and algebra courses, but they are much more representative of mathematics as a whole and can provide students with a deep appreciation of the power and elegance of mathematical reasoning.
