The Bachelor of Science program in Mathematics is designed to prepare students to take positions in industry, to pursue graduate training, or to enter the teaching profession. It allows some flexibility in course work which necessitates close cooperation with a mathematics department advisor who should be selected early in the student’s career. The Department of Mathematics and Statistics maintains a highly trained and research-active faculty with a balanced commitment to teaching, research and service. Our mission is to provide our students with the best possible education in pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics through instruction in the classroom and to support our university, community and profession through a variety of service roles.Our department has been instrumental in developing the Early College Program to offer advanced placement mathematics courses to students in high school so they can earn college credit in advance of attending university. We provide mathematics courses that satisfy general education requirements for all students at ISU as well as courses that are specifically required for students pursuing education in teaching, physics, engineering, health professions, computer science, biological sciences and business.
