Mission Statement

MissionMathematics is central to effective communication, critical thinking, and decision-making. Its study enhances a liberal arts education by exposing students to the methods and philosophies of quantitative analysis and the role mathematics plays in the modern world. The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers courses and opportunities to support students and faculty in pursuing quantitative inquiries.

Students majoring in mathematics or working toward secondary mathematics teacher certification will find model instruction preparing them for careers in mathematics and statistics, for teaching mathematics at the secondary level, and for future advanced study in mathematics, statistics, and other fields.

Students in all other majors will find courses to develop their skills and increase their confidence in the use of mathematics and their appreciation of its value for solving problems and thinking about social issues.

Moreover, courses in mathematics provide students with stimulating ideas and skills essential to study in many academic disciplines. The curriculum integrates computer and other technology-based approaches to demonstrate the modern practice and pedagogy of mathematics.

The department supports University faculty members in their efforts to research mathematics, to study the teaching and learning of mathematics, to collaborate with professionals, and to develop as teacher scholars.
