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.
Abstract Algebra I
MAT 473
An introduction to the structure of algebraic systems.
Differential Equations
MAT 310
Methods of solution of ordinary differential equations with some applications to geometry
and physics.
Introduction to Real Analysis
MAT 443
An introduction to real analysis and topology covering the completeness of the real
numbers, sequences, limits, continuity, uniform continuity, and more.
Student Learning Outcomes
Students will have a solid foundation of mathematical processes at a level comparable
to that of students graduating with a B.S. in Mathematics at other universities. Processes
should include (but are not limited to) a proficiency in logic, problem solving, and
methods of proof.
Students will demonstrate their ability to apply mathematics in other fields at an
appropriate level and demonstrate their ability to apply knowledge acquired from their
major to real world models.
Students will demonstrate mastery of abstract mathematical concepts and critical reasoning.
Take the next step toward living your purpose
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

Linn Carothers
Professor of Mathematics
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.
