Bachelor Degree

The mathematics program at GMC is designed to develop an understanding of inter-relationships within mathematics and to expose students to the interplay of problem solving and theory across a broad spectrum of mathematical sciences. The program also incorporates the use of technology in mathematics instruction. Students use graphing calculators, computer algebra systems (DERIVE, MAPLE, and other mathematics software) and the Internet to explore the concepts and applications of mathematics.
