Career Possibilities for Mathematics Majors:
The future outlook for careers in mathematics remains promising, especially for those who combine their training with other specialties. A degree with a major in mathematics with supporting work in computer science, business or economics will increase employment opportunities.
Department Overview
The Mathematics and Physics Department offers a rigorous and well-balanced program of courses leading to a bachelor of science degree with majors in mathematics and physics. Mathematics is of central importance in the sciences. In fact, mathematics has been called the language of science. This applies not only to the physical and biological sciences but increasingly to the social, managerial and behavioral sciences as well. Much of mathematics has been developed to meet the needs of the areas of human knowledge that it serves. In addition to its service role in other areas, mathematics occupies a place of its own in our intellectual heritage. From ancient Greece to our own times, people have been drawn to the elegant structure.
The physics major is primarily intended for students who wish to pursue graduate work in physics or related areas, careers in higher education, or careers in technology-based industry.
The mathematics and physics faculty are active in research. Current areas of research interest include astrophysics, computational physics, condensed matter theory, many-body theory, mathematical physics, quantum field theory, and statistical mechanics. Students majoring in mathematics or physics have an excellent opportunity to get involved in ongoing research projects. In the recent past, students have appeared as co-authors on a number of scientific publications in research and teaching journals.
In addition to mathematics and physics majors, the department hosts an articulated pre-engineering/engineering program with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Program Level Outcomes for Mathematics
- Formulate and prove mathematical results in the language of mathematics.
- Perform technical mathematical computations in mathematics and related fields.
- Translate ideas and meanings from the language of everyday life (English) into mathematical language (formulas and symbols).
- Communicate in the language of mathematics.
- Search for knowledge in independent and responsible ways.
High School Preparation
Students entering a degree program at UW-Parkside should have taken at least three years of high school mathematics including ninth-grade algebra, 10th-grade geometry and 11th-grade advanced algebra and trigonometry. Students intending to take college-level mathematics courses are encouraged to strengthen their preparation by taking 12th-grade pre-calculus.
Computational Skills Requirement
Students satisfy this requirement with the completion of either MATH 102 Quantitative Reasoning or MATH 103 Elementary Statistics for 3 credits or MATH 111 College Algebra I for 4 credits (with a grade of C-minus or better).
Students are exempt from the requirement if their placement results (based on UW Mathematics Placement Test) are above MATH 102 Quantitative Reasoning or MATH 111 College Algebra I. Students must complete computational skills within their first 60 academic credits.
Placement Examination
Mathematics Placement is by UW Mathematics Placement Test scores. This examination serves as a guide for placement in mathematics courses. Placement in mathematics courses is usually made at the following levels:
- MATH 102 Quantitative Reasoning, MATH 103 Elementary Statistics, MATH 104 College Mathematics with Applications or MATH 111 College Algebra I – students with fewer than three years of high school math, or inadequate background, or who have been out of school for an extended period of time.
- MATH 112 College Algebra II, MATH 113 Trigonometry or MATH 114 College Algebra II/Trigonometry – students with three years of high school mathematics.
- MATH 221 Calculus and Analytic Geometry I – students with four years of high school mathematics.
Math Bridge is a required four-week math program for new and continuing students who could benefit from additional math support. It is designed to help students build confidence and mathematical skill.
Program Level Outcomes for Physics
- Student should be scientifically literate in the foundations of physics, both theoretical and practical.
- Students should be able to take data in a lab environment or computer simulation, analyze it, present it coherently in a written format and draw from the analysis a convincing conclusion based upon the principles of the scientific method.
- Students will master the tools of modern physics; mathematical, computational, and experimental.
- The student should be able to orally present in a professional, lucid manner, the results and analysis of an experiment or research and effectively answer questions on the topic of their work in a scientific seminar format.
- The student is expected to have mastered the methods of modern scientific exploration at an appropriate level, and engage in a continual self-examination for any deficiencies, and take advantage of opportunities to rectify them. The goal is to be fully prepared for the Physics GRE exam.
Articulation Agreement UW-Milwaukee Engineering Program
The articulated pre-engineering/engineering agreement with University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) creates a curriculum plan so the students at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside (UWP) may complete and transfer coursework applicable to the first two years of the UWM biomedical, civil, electrical, industrial and manufacturing, mechanical and materials engineering majors in the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS), and provides guaranteed transfer to students who complete all of the articulated pre-engineering courses and the UWM admission requirements. Students complete 80-85 credits, and may earn the Associate of Science degree in Physics at UWP. Specific associate degree requirements are in the Associate Degree section of the catalog.
Admission Requirements and the Highlights of the Program
- Students complete the first two years of course work (78-86 credits) at UW-Parkside, then continue at UWM toward one of the majors in UWM CEAS - biomedical, civil, electrical, industrial and manufacturing, mechanical and materials engineering in the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) with junior standing.
- The transfer with junior standing is guaranteed for students who complete all of the articulated courses within the UWP-UWM agreement with a cumulative GPA no less than the minimum GPA for the individual UWM major to which the student seeks admission.
- All UWP university admission requirements apply. Admission into the UWP-UWM articulated engineering requires placement into MATH 221 Calculus and Analytic Geometry I or successful completion of the pre-requisites for MATH 221 Calculus and Analytic Geometry I.
- During the first 78-86 credits of study (the first two years), students will be primarily advised by UWP faculty but will also have a co-advisor from UWM to facilitate smooth transition to UWM CEAS.
- Students will pay tuition and appropriate fees to the university at which they are enrolled.
- Students admitted under this agreement will be guided by UWM and UWP catalog year of their admission to UWP.
- Students who voluntarily withdraw or do not meet the requirement to continue in the program, may transfer any of their earned UWP/UWM credits into another degree program subject to the credit transfer equivalencies and requirements.
