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. The department offers opportunities for students to build a strong foundation in core mathematical areas and a number of specializations to prepare for fulfilling careers. Faculty bring their research into the classroom, allowing students to see the many ways in which mathematics is used in different fields. Beyond introductory courses, many classes are small, allowing for engaging interactions among faculty and students. A degree in mathematics prepares students for a variety of careers, including statistician or research scientist in a government laboratory or company, including pharmaceutical, manufacturing and technology firms, research programmer, risk analyst and actuarial scientist for financial or insurance companies, and educator. Proficiency with mathematics and analytical reasoning is a highly desired skill, especially when combined with a background in a secondary field, such as business, computing or a branch of science. A mathematics degree is attractive to employers, as it indicates strong quantitative skills and an ability to see broad links between technology and society. We offer classes for students with varying interests and plans. Some students intend to major in mathematics, while others intend to study science or engineering and will take a great deal of mathematics, still others only expect to take the minimum necessary.
