The Mathematics program at Nyack College introduces students to the fundamental areas, concepts and methods of Mathematics. We offer a wide selection of introductory and advanced courses. Math majors receive a thorough preparation for graduate study in areas that require mathematical knowledge, quantitative skills, analytical reasoning and problem-solving abilities. We also serve other departments by offering courses appropriate for students in Liberal Arts and Sciences (Sciences), Business, Education, TESOL, Nursing, and the Mathematics minor.

 

Mathematics has a long and distinguished tradition in classical education. It was one of the quadrivium (“four roads”) leading toward completion of the liberal arts. Studying Math helps develop critical thinking, problem-solving abilities and analytical skills. Increasingly, Math is becoming an even more essential tool for survival. From balancing a check book, to investing in mutual funds, to understanding the matrix of how global systems interconnect. Most importantly, at Nyack College, Mathematics is studied in a way that glorifies God and helps deepen our appreciation for the ordered universe of God’s creation.
