Mathematics and statistics play a key role in our efforts to understanding
business, technology, the sciences and many other aspects of society.
Students study mathematics in order to develop critical reasoning
skills that can significantly contribute to many personal goals. Within
the last few years the frenetic pace of research and development in
computers and high technology has led to strong new imperatives for
more mathematical expertise (from the Boston University Mathematics

- Critical thinking and analytical ability
- Strong communication skills, both oral and written
