SUGGESTED MINORS
Students come to Limestone with diverse backgrounds in mathematics. The first task of the department is to determine the student’s appropriate placement in the sequence of mathematics courses. The aim of the mathematics department is to place entering students where they are comfortable, yet where they feel challenged, where they succeed, and where they feel well prepared for whatever lies ahead.
The Mathematics concentration provides courses that will prepare students to pursue careers in many fields such as finance, business, and science.
