Objectives
Mathematics
Iona’s mathematics programs will prepare you to make an impact in some of today’s most challenging fields - and move your own career forward in the direction that interests you.
In addition to gaining a solid foundation in mathematical methods and techniques, you will develop the logical and analytical thinking skills that will enable you to become a valued problem-solver within a broad range of industries.
Iona’s mathematics curriculum emphasizes the three major fields of study, algebra, analysis and applied mathematics, while giving you the chance to delve more deeply into an area of personal interest.
Physics
Iona’s physics programs will prepare you to use the tools of science to expand your knowledge of nature and the forces that impact life on Earth. Through theory and experimentation, mathematics, and computer science, you will gain a solid foundation in the principles and practice of both classical and modern physics. You will learn to use your scientific skills as a force for good, advancing leadership, service, and civic responsibility.
The physics minor provides you with a firm grounding in the principal fields of classical physics: mechanics, heat, light, electricity, and magnetism. You’ll also gain an understanding of the elements of modern physics: relativity, quantum theory, particle physics and thermodynamics.
Other Options In Mathematics
Teacher Certification
