The Department of Mathematics of Iona College offers and undergraduate program leading to a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Applied Mathematics. What can you do with mathematics? You can send a man to the moon, monitor the quality of work during a production process, encode and decode messages, predict the number of people that will have contracted a particular disease at some future date, simulate an alien landscape and much more. Mathematics is a powerful tool in many areas of human endeavor including science, business, politics and medicine. This program is designed to prepare students to meet the diverse quantitative needs of modern society. Majors in this program take courses in calculus, analysis, probability, statistics, mathematical modeling, discrete mathematics and quantitative courses outside the mathematics department.
