About

Mathematicians and those with mathematical inclination are inherently problem solvers. Through course work and individual faculty-student work, the Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers the mechanism to develop and refine problem solving skills and creative thinking skills that are vitally important for the demands of the job market and society in general.

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics enables students to develop the skills in analytical and logical reasoning needed to succeed in today’s world, where technology is an ever-expanding part of everyday life. We offer opportunities for students to build a strong foundation in core mathematical areas and a number of specializations to prepare our students for fulfilling careers. Our faculty bring their research into the classroom, allowing students to see many of the ways in which mathematics is used in different fields. Beyond our introductory classes, many of our classes are small, allowing for engaging interactions between the faculty and students.
