What is Mathematics?

Ian Martines, Ph.D., lectures students on mathematics.

Mathematics – from actuarial science to financial math – is about more than the theory of numbers. It discovers tools from which a quantitative understanding of our world is made possible.

Moreover, the language of mathematics is truly a universal language, transcending ethnic, societal, and national boundaries.

Finally, mathematics also is a critical filter, opening doors to exciting and high-paying careers in business, government, teaching and research.
