The PLU Department of Mathematics offers a broad choice of educational and career goals. We offer three degree options: a BA and BS in Mathematics and a BS in Mathematics Education.
of courses, including statistics, geometry and mathematics applied to computation or to science. Students who choose a B.S. degree in mathematics often couple it with a minor or second major in such related fields as Computer Science, Physics and Actuarial Science. Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics: This degree is frequently selected by students who wish to obtain both a mathematics major and a second major in a liberal arts subject. Recent mathematics graduates have taken a second major in such

Geometry,” which appeared in Mathematics Magazine, Vol. 87, No. 5, December 2014, pp. 321-409. “I often teach PLU’s Geometry course (Math 321), which usually has a majority of its students planning to be high-school math teachers,” Heath said. “Because of this, I am always looking for ways to package difficult geometric ideas so my students are motivated to dig into the ideas themselves: I hope they will use similar strategies when they eventually teach mathematics. “ During his last sabbatical, Heath
