Mathematics

UMass Amherst

The goal of the mathematics program at the University of Massachusetts has three aspects. First the students learn basic material such as linear algebra, differential equations, and statistics needed to successfully attack a wide range of problems. Second, they learn to think with rigor. Lastly they learn to approach apparently unsolvable problems by studying simpler problems, doing experiments and bringing together different concepts.
