This is what this concentration provides.Challenging yourself has other advantages. Matt Culek credits his ability to trouble-shoot proposals brought to him by quantitative analysts at Citadel Securities to the habits of thought developed in his undergraduate course in number theory here at UNO.Students interested in specializing in mathematics and intending to do either graduate work in Mathematics or work in business or industry will be interested in this degree. The Mathematics Department Degree Program prepares students for employment in the private or public sector, graduate school, and scientific research. Studying mathematics naturally develops quantitative thinking and analytic problem solving, talents with universal application. Demand will always be high for individuals with these universal talents to solve society’s diverse and complex problems.
