Background

The Department of Mathematics is one of the largest departments on campus with a broadly based full-time faculty. In addition, we teach over 5,000 students enrolled in mathematics classes each year. The department offers a flexible curriculum so that individual students may tailor their university mathematics programs to fit specific education and career objectives.

The department offers undergraduate degrees in Mathematics, a masters in mathematics, and a doctoral degree in applied and computational mathematics through the College of Science and Technology's Computational Science degree program.

We strongly encourage students to consider opportunities in mathematics through a double-major, or by minoring in mathematics, and we also encourage our majors to develop broader interdisciplinary backgrounds, particularly in computer science. The members of the mathematics faculty have broad teaching and research interests and a profound dedication to the student scholar.

We offer over 50 undergraduate courses encompassing all the major areas of mathematics, including a variety of courses in each of the areas of analysis, algebra, topology, geometry, and applied and numerical mathematics. Students are encouraged to become independent thinkers, and there are opportunities for directed independent study projects.

New topics for Spring 2007, and the academic year.
