Mathematics

The mission of the mathematics program is to provide the students the analytical skills, computational fluency, and mathematical knowledge in diverse contexts to engage in the world as productive, critical-thinking citizens. The department maintains common goals for all of its students (majors, minors and others). Students in our courses will learn strategies for abstract problem solving, gain a basic understanding of computers and the broad implications of their use, be exposed to mathematics as a liberal art, and be given the opportunity to hone their computational skills.
