A mathematics degree from Harvey Mudd College will prepare students for a variety of careers in business, industry or academics. Mathematical methods are increasingly employed in fields as diverse as finance, biomedical research, management science, the computer industry and most technical and scientific disciplines. To support the academic and professional goals of our majors, we offer a wide selection of courses in both pure and applied mathematics. This selection is enhanced by courses offered in cooperation with the other Claremont Colleges, including graduate courses at the Claremont Graduate University.
Students will have many opportunities to do mathematical research with faculty through independent study, a summer research experience, or their senior capstone experience. Active areas of mathematical research at HMC and The Claremont Colleges include algebra, algebraic geometry, algorithms and computational complexity, combinatorics, differential geometry, dynamical systems, fluid mechanics, graph theory, number theory, numerical analysis, mathematical biology, mathematics education, operations research, partial differential equations, real and complex analysis, statistical methods and analysis, and topology.
The culmination of the degree is the senior capstone research experience: every student experiences a taste of the life of a professional mathematician as part of a team in the Mathematics Clinic Program or by working individually on a Senior Thesis.
The Mathematics Clinic program extends the academic experience of our majors. An educational innovation of HMC, our Clinic Program brings together teams of students to work on a research problem sponsored by business, industry or government. Teams work closely with a faculty advisor and a liaison provided by the sponsoring organization to solve complex real-world problems using mathematical and computational methods. Clinic teams present their results in bound final reports to the sponsors and give several formal presentations on the progress of the work during the academic year.
Our Senior Thesis program provides students with the opportunity to work independently on a problem of their choosing. Advisors and readers may be chosen from the HMC faculty and the other mathematicians at The Claremont Colleges, providing students with a wealth of research opportunities. As with Clinic, the end product of a thesis is a bound volume as well as presentations made at a professional conference or other venue, during the college-wide Presentations Days and throughout the year.
課程需求
Every HMC student, regardless of major, takes three semesters of mathematics (covering the topics of calculus, multivariable calculus, linear algebra, probability & statistics, and differential equations) as part of the general core curriculum.
Beyond the Core courses, the course of study for a mathematics degree has five components: the Major Core, Computational Mathematics, the Senior Capstone Experience (Clinic or Thesis), Math Forum and Math Colloquium, and the Elective Program. Each of these components to the major program is described below.
專業(yè)核心

Since prehistoric times when the caveman invented the wheel, engineers have played a vital role in society. Using theories and applications of science and mathematics, engineers work to design, create and improve things to solve problems and benefit the world at large. Their work ranges from designing and building bridges to making business deals, researching new methods of production and testing manufactured products for quality and safety assurance.

Electrical engineers – design chips for VCRs, stereos, radios and other electronic products; and work with quantum electronics, acoustics, signal processing and ferroelectrics.
Environmental engineers
Geotechnical engineers
Industrial engineers – work with companies to determine how they should best allocate their resources (A large percent of industrial engineers work with manufacturing companies and specialize in a specific area.)
Management/economics engineers

Materials engineers – design new materials and new processes for making materials; also select and apply existing materials to solve design problems
Mechanical engineers
Mining engineers
Nuclear engineers – work to optimize the output of nuclear plants and in atomic research facilities
Ocean engineers
Optical engineers
Petroleum engineers
Robotics engineers – design and make robots, as well as develop new uses and abilities for robots

Transportation engineers – plan, design and upgrade streets, highways, railroads, airports and other transit and transportation systems.
學(xué)歷要求
Harvey Mudd College’s engineering majors earn a bachelor of science in engineering degree. They may choose to emphasize a particular engineering specialty by appropriate choice of elective courses and Engineering Clinic projects.
Students entering the engineering major have successfully completed the Common Core, a series of courses deisgned to provide foundational learning experiences. This accounts for 37.5 credit untis (cu) in math, physics, chemistry, biology, computer science, engineering, and humanities, social sciences and the arts. PE is also required for 3 credit units.
核心
The engineering curriculum consists of three main areas, or stems, in engineering design, engineering systems, and engineering science. Each area contributes to an interdisciplinary based approach to teaching and learning with design as the distinguishing feature, with systems providing unifying concepts and tools to build the general framework for problem solving across disciplines, and with science to provide needed fundamentals in the context of a broad-based program. This accounts for 46.5 cu*.
The engineering design courses focus on working in teams on open-ended, externally-driven design projects. Hands-on exposure to professional practice begins with students undertaking challenging design problems in the first year with an introduction to conceptual design, engineering drawings, and manufacturing techniques (E4, continues with a laboratory course in experimental engineering (E80) and a three-semester Clinic experience (E111-E113).
The sequence of systems courses (E59 and E101-1E02) provides analysis and design tools to model and interpret the behavior of general engineering systems. These courses are multidisciplinary in approach, enabling students to gain a unified view of the entire spectrum of engineering disciplines.
The engineering science courses (E82, E83, E84, E85 and E106) establish a broad base of fundamental knowledge needed by an engineer practicing in the field. A half course in engineering mathematics (E72) is also required for the engineering major.
教學(xué)目標(biāo)
Produce graduates who are exceptionally competent engineers whose work is notable for its breadth and its technical excellence;
Provide a “hands-on” approach to engineering so that graduates develop an understanding of engineering judgment and practice
Prepare and motivate students for lifetime of independent, reflective learning
Produce graduates who are fully aware of the impact of their work on society, both nationally and globally
Offer a curriculum that is current, exciting and challenging for both students and faculty, but can be completed in four years by any motivated student who is admitted to HMC
