Mathematics studies concepts related to quantity, space, change, pattern, and structure. Ferrum College’s Applied Mathematics curriculum allows students to learn areas of mathematics, such as Calculus and Statistics, while developing the ability for deductive reasoning and problem-solving. The Ferrum College B.S. in Applied Mathematics prepares students who plan to pursue careers in business, industry, government, and beyond.
In this class, students will create and solve equations that:
In this course students will study basic mathematical functions, systems of linear equations, and applications of mathematics to business and science. Functions studied include polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
Students start by learning how to use the R language for statistical computing to implement statistical techniques covered in Introductory Statistics. They simultaneously learn how to use R Markdown to write reproducible reports of statistical analyses in R.
Uses data to measure risk for a company or organization, such as an insurance company or a financial services business.
Collects and stores data on sales numbers, market research, logistics, linguistics, or other behaviors. They bring technical expertise to ensure the quality and accuracy of that data, then process, design, and present it in ways to help people, businesses, and organizations make better decisions.
Mathematicians help organizations by applying mathematical theories and techniques to solve practical problems. They collect data, analyze this data, and present their findings with the aim of solving practical problems in business, government, engineering, and science.
