Undergraduate Program

 

Every academic profession involves a lifetime of learning, and mathematics is no exception. The specific topics you will study may not be those studied by mathematics majors who follow you. You will forget many of the details and will reinvent mathematics as you need it. Thus it is not so much the content that you are to learn. Like the biologist, the sociologist, or the physician, you will need to "learn to learn."

In your mathematical education at UW, we seek to provide you with a broad training in reasoning. Mathematics is unique in its organization, its reliance on symbolism, and its content. Your skills in analytic thinking, formal and informal logic, abstracting from the particular, and specializing from the general to the particular will be the centerpiece of your undergraduate accomplishments.
