the Creator of the universe is a God of
orderliness, what better way to study
that process, as well as other
attributes of God, than through the
principles of Mathematics.
Students are exposed to a subject
greatly used in our society.
Students will learn how to think
creatively and analytically, which will
help them in the decision-making
process.
Students
are required to complete 3 credits
in Mathematics, although 4 credits are
recommended for most college-bound students.
