Why add a minor in mathematics?

Studying mathematics helps you understand the building blocks of science and our everyday world. From computational mathematics to analytical thinking, a math degree builds the skills you need in any career.

As a Mathematics minor at UND, you'll take a deep dive into subjects including:

  • Applied Math
  • Combinatorics and Cryptology
  • Probability and Statistics
  • Mathematical Analysis
  • Number Theory and Abstract Algebra

As you progress through the curriculum, you'll become proficient at:

  • Computational mathematics
  • Logical and analytical thinking
  • Formulating problems in mathematical language and solving them
  • Working with mathematical structures
  • Abstract thinking

You'll graduate as a skilled mathematician and problem solver.
