A dynamic subject, with connections to many disciplines, mathematics is an integral part of a liberal arts education, and is increasingly vital in understanding science, technology, and society. Entry-level courses introduce students to basic concepts and hint at some of the power and beauty behind these fundamental results.

Upper-level courses and the capstone experience provide majors with the opportunity to explore mathematical topics in greater depth and sophistication, and to delight in the fascination of this important discipline. During new-student orientation the department assists students planning to study mathematics in choosing an appropriate starting course. Based on a student’s academic background and skills, the department recommends Mathematics 101, 102, 105, 106, 110, 111, 112, 205, 206, or a more advanced course. The mathematics department offers a major and a minor in mathematics.
