Mathematics, Pure

The Pure Mathematics Minor is designed for students with a strong interest in mathematics who wish to deepen their knowledge while pursuing a major in another field. This program allows students to explore foundational and advanced areas of mathematics, with a particular focus on developing theoretical and proof-based skills.

Students begin with core courses, including Calculus, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra, which are essential for many technical majors at Trine, especially in engineering. These foundational courses also make it easier for students in such majors to add this minor to their academic portfolio. Building on these prerequisites, students have the opportunity to delve into more advanced topics such as Abstract Algebra, Real Analysis, and Complex Variables, where they will further develop their understanding of mathematical proofs and theoretical concepts.

This minor is an excellent way to enhance your mathematical knowledge and skills, providing a strong complement to your major and preparing you for various professional paths where analytical and quantitative reasoning are highly valued.
