Mathematics

Mission Statement

DEPARTMENT ROLE

The main purpose of the department is to provide students with the tools necessary to competently integrate mathematics into their personal and professional lives. We strive to create an environment that makes that possible. Quality teaching of relevant courses is our central objective.

Students taking mathematics have various goals that include intellectual enrichment, employment in industry, teaching and graduate work. We offer a curriculum that meets or exceeds their needs in each area, both in terms of content and of teaching styles. Since mathematics is central to many fields, we design our course offerings in a manner sensitive to the needs of other disciplines.

Because mathematics is a rapidly developing field and the best teachers are those who remain active in their discipline, we engage in such activities as mathematical and educational research, in-service teacher training, and course and curriculum development. Professional and scholarly work is both expected and encouraged.
