Minor in Mathematics
School of Arts and Sciences
A minor in mathematics may be used by students who wish to study mathematics to develop their ability to reason logically and to assist them in forming habits of precise expression. Because mathematics is becoming the underlying language of a more technological society, courses in this minor also will help provide the tools to solve significant problems in many academic areas.

Math Professor Finds Magic in Squares
Legend has it that magic squares were discovered by the Chinese emperor Yu in 2200 B.C. Today, 4200 years later, UC Mathematics Professor Hossein Behforooz is unlocking the "mystical" properties of these remarkable mathematical tables, still found in nearly every culture in the world, featuring rows, columns, and diagonals that all add up to the same number.
"The educational background and professors at UC provided me with a grounding that has been very helpful in the career that is heavily based on math."
