Mathematics

Overview

The Mathematics Department, located on the second floor of the Science Center, is known for its close-knit community of professors and students who work together inside and outside the classroom. Faculty and students attend and present at professional conferences, collaborate on Math Club activities, do independent research, and sponsor social events. Students work as peer tutors in 100-level courses and help staff the Math Center, where math majors and non-majors can drop in to get help.

Mathematics courses cover a wide spectrum of mathematical topics, including statistics, linear algebra, abstract algebra, geometry, differential equations, and mathematical modeling. Our programs stress mathematical problem solving and reasoning, and provide experience using technology to learn and do mathematics.
