California Baptist University
With a degree in mathematics, students learn more than just numbers. They learn rational and logical thought and benefit from a higher cognition level as they comprehend more and more complex mathematical theories. Mathematics is a truly versatile program, leaving students with many career options, including personal financial advising, market research, meteorology, and more.
At CBU, we are concerned with more than just providing the required coursework for students to be a skilled mathematician. We not only provide courses in calculus, differential equations, statistics and linear algebra, but we also truly care about our students and want to help them choose the right career. With a major in mathematics, students will learn skills and abilities that will enable them to serve God and our society in ways many people can’t.
An introduction to the structure of algebraic systems.
Methods of solution of ordinary differential equations with some applications to geometry and physics.
An introduction to real analysis and topology covering the completeness of the real numbers, sequences, limits, continuity, uniform continuity, and more.
As you make decisions about college, keep in mind the full social, spiritual and educational experience awaiting you at CBU. Here, you will be supported by professors, staff and fellow students who will help you discover your strengths and challenge you to do more than you ever thought you could. Let us equip you with the education, training and opportunities you'll need to start making a unique difference doing what you love.

"My professors cared about my success and were willing to go above and beyond to help me get to where
I am today. My program helped me discover that I wanted be a professor so I can impact my future
students in the same ways my professors did for me."
Travis Smiley, 2020
"Before, I thought I wanted to be a high school math teacher, but one of my professors
told me, "You will be a Dr. one day," and ever since then, I have had overwhelming
peace about what my future holds. I am currently a third year PhD student."
Jazmine Perez, 2019
After becoming a math major, I decided to pursue a PhD in applied mathematics. In graduate school, I discovered so many disciplines and subfields in which math could be applied to solve important new problems. As an applied mathematician, I have worked on Schrödinger equations in quantum mechanics and predator-prey models in population biology. As a Christian, I also seek to show that math is part of God’s invisible attributes.
Forty-two years ago, God called me out of a comfortable job in research chemistry into a worldwide ministry in the mathematical sciences. God’s call drew me to travel, administrate and coordinate national and international teams of scientists and educators in academic institutions across the former Soviet Union, China, the Caribbean and even 40 miles north of Fairbanks, Alaska.
We see the beauty that math can create in the world of fractal geometry, we see the order and structure in which the universe was created with physics, and the awe-inspiring beauty of music through calculus. All of this is but a glimpse into the mind of God. That is why I love mathematics. It is man’s way of seeking to understand the nature of created things.
