LIBERAL ARTS CONTEXT
Mathematics stands uniquely at the intersection of science and the other liberal arts. Thus, many students decide to combine a mathematics major with a major or minor in another area. Related disciplines which use math, like physics and computer science, are natural choices; our emphasis on analytical thinking serves those well who opt for an area such as English, philosophy, or biblical studies. Mathematics is also approved as an option for the required second major for pre-service elementary or secondary teachers.

HONORS, RESEARCH, AND SERVICE
There are several different ways to explore math beyond the classroom walls at Gordon. You may wish to pursue departmental honors, conduct research on or off campus, or to use your math talent in service to others.
