For millennia the study of mathematics, one of the oldest of the liberal arts, has been a hallmark of enlightened society. The study of mathematics has been used to train students to think clearly and creatively. Mathematical applications enlighten other disciplines and inform society.

Mathematics is one of the oldest of the liberal arts. The study of mathematics has been used for centuries to train students to think clearly and creatively. Mathematical applications enlighten other disciplines and inform society.

Mathematical thought requires curiosity, creativity, discipline and logic. As students progress through the mathematics curriculum, they are expected to become increasingly adept at developing conjectures, constructing correct proofs and refuting weak ones, creating and using mathematical models to describe physical phenomena, working with abstract structures and clearly communicating results.
