Point of Pride

The Department of Mathematics offers various facilities and support services for students, including the Mathematics Materials Center, Mathematics Resource Classroom, and computer labs.

Why study Mathematics?

Mathematics is a discipline that is both broad in its many areas of study and its applications as well as fascinating in the types of questions that are asked about these areas. As our society becomes more quantitative, more and more disciplines are using mathematics more intensively. For example, the National Academy of Sciences now considers even biology a mathematically intensive discipline. As such, the demand for people trained in mathematically intensive disciplines is expected to continue to increase for the foreseeable future.
