Department Mission:

Mathematics belongs both to the sciences and to the liberal arts. Not only is it the language of science, but it is also studied for its own beauty. Its basic elements are logic and intuition, analysis and construction, and the balance between generality and individuality.

The Department of Mathematics strives to promote academic excellence in mathematics and related fields. It offers a wide spectrum of mathematics courses ranging from first-year introductory courses to advanced upper-level courses that cover the full undergraduate curriculum in mathematics, leading to a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. The challenging B.S. degree program provides excellent preparation for graduate study at universities and research institutions.

The Mathematics major and minor prepare students for careers in business, government, industry, education, and research. Rapid advances in science and technology have expanded the many fields in which mathematics is essential. In today’s technology-driven world, mathematical knowledge supports applications in data science, computing, engineering, finance, and many other modern technologies.
As a result, graduates of the department have increasing opportunities for employment, innovation, and professional advancement in a wide variety of disciplines.
