Why should you be a Math Major at Rutgers-Camden?
Why Mathematics and Statistics?
Mathematics is the science of structure, order, and relation. It originated from basic human activities such as counting and measuring. Mathematics is the language of physical sciences and engineering. In more recent years, it has increasingly played a similar role in quantitative aspects of the life sciences. Statistics is the science of collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting empirical data.
Mathematics and Statistics are highly interdisciplinary fields. They underpin many recent breakthroughs in computer and biological sciences, communication, and medicine.
