This degree is designed for students who wish to major in mathematics and plan to transfer to four-year institutions. It is appropriate for students interested in engineering, physics or other physical sciences.

Electives should be selected based on the student's interests and the requirements of the transfer institution or technician-level vocation opportunities.

For further information, contact area coordinator, Michele Leacott, at (609)343-5044 or mleacott@atlanticcape.edu.

Upon completion of this program students will be able to:

  • Differentiate and integrate algebraic and transcendental functions. (This includes partial differentiation and double/triple integrals.);
  • Solve first order differential equation and second order differential equations;
  • Apply the concept of a limit to appropriate mathematical constructs;
  • Analyze and solve mathematical problems objectively;
  • Use inductive and deductive reasoning skills needed for theoretical and applied mathematics.
