the sciences and mathematics

 

Why study science? Why pursue mathematics?

If you've landed on this page, chances are you already have the answer to these questions: because you want to know. You want to uncover, investigate, take apart the pieces of the world and put them back together again. Find out how it all works -- and maybe how you can help make it work better.

Biology. Chemistry. Earth Science. Physics. Mathematics. These are disciplines for the relentlessly curious, the painstaking observer, the bold experimenter.

The biologist looks at life itself. The chemist explores the most elemental aspects of our world. The earth scientist looks for clues in the skies, in the soil, in the
deepest reaches of the seas. The physicistprobes motion, matter, the relations of time andspace. And the mathematician searches for theorder, the design, the answers.

Has there ever been a more exciting time for science and mathematics? Biotechnology, superconductors, the computer revolution. Unlocking the secrets of our genes and the mystery of the stars are all in a day's work for today's science professionals. Scientists and mathematicians are at the center of it all.

If you want to join them, Southern's science and mathematics programs offer what you've always wanted: a chance to work hard, learn the answers to questions you've been asking yourself for years (and some that haven't even occurred to you yet), and in the process have the intellectual and educational time of your life.
