数学在我们周围的世界中比以往任何时候都起着举足轻重的作用，雇主极力寻求具有开发和应用数学模型和抽象数学推理的基本技能的人。金融，保险，能源和交通运输业，各种制造业，体育，电影和其他娱乐业以及支持社交媒体的产业，除了教育和政府部门以外，还只是少数具有定量背景的员工，特别是数学学位。新墨西哥州立大学数学科学系提供硕士学位和博士学位。学位课程。高师生比例促进了大学氛围和个人关注。研究生班往往很小，只有十个或更少的学生。教师的兴趣涵盖了各个领域，无论是纯领域还是应用领域。有关教师兴趣和研究生研究的概述，请访问描述
The department offers courses in mathematics and statistics leading to the Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral degree. At the Bachelor's level we have several options for career preparation, such as applied mathematics and actuarial science.Our faculty has research groups in many areas of pure and applied mathematics, and in mathematics education. Strengths lie in commutative algebra, logic and foundations, probability and statistics, dynamical systems, mathematical biology, variational methods in partial differential equations especially relevant to materials science, and applied and computational harmonic analysis with applications to machine learning and data analysis.We provide courses for other disciplines throughout the NMSU main campus. This includes the sciences, engineering, social sciences, humanities, agriculture, business, and education. This includes preparatory and general education courses that ensure every student has the quantitative and reasoning skills needed every career now demands.
