Welcome


Mathematics is a subject of great intrinsic power and beauty. It is  the universal language of science, and is essential for a clear and  complete understanding of virtually all phenomena. Mathematical  training prepares a student to express and analyze problems and  relationships in a logical manner in a wide variety of disciplines, including the physical, engineering, social, biological, and medical  sciences, business, and pure mathematics itself. This is a principal  reason for the perpetual need and demand for mathematicians in education, research centers, government, and industry.

Our department combines world-class research with dedication to teaching. We are large enough to be able to offer a wide spectrum of courses in  mathematics and its applications, comparable to that offered at much  larger institutions. Yet we are small enough so that close  faculty-student interaction is the norm. Indeed, small class sizes and  individual attention by faculty are hallmarks of our undergraduate  program. Advanced undergraduates may, and often do, take advantage of  our graduate program by taking courses at the graduate level.
