Applied Mathematics

Western Washington University - Bellingham

Classes in Western's Department of Mathematics emphasize analytical thinking and problem-solving skills that will serve you well not just in mathematics, but in many other careers, including law, business, and a range of technical fields. Compared to the BA and BS Mathematics majors, this major requires that the student take a carefully selected sequence of courses focusing on a particular area of application of mathematics.
