The Department of Mathematics and Statistics is a diversified community of scholars dedicated to excellence in teaching, scholarship, research and service in the disciplines of mathematics, statistics and mathematics education.
We are dedicated to the education of our students in the fields of mathematics and statistics and to the certification of teachers in secondary education. To that end we support curricula that lead to undergraduate and graduate degrees in mathematics and certification for teaching mathematics in secondary schools. In addition, we offer courses in mathematics and statistics that serve the needs of other degree programs of the university.
To provide for the general education of all students, we offer courses for students of varying backgrounds and levels of mastery of mathematics. In all of these activities we strive for excellence in teaching.
We are dedicated to scholarship and research in the mathematical sciences, and to active participation in the professional life of its disciplines through publications and professional meetings.
We regularly sponsor special lectures and activities to enrich the academic life of the campus and the larger community. Our department members share in the role of faculty governance through committee participation at all levels within the university.
We will continue to serve as the primary regional resource for the mathematical sciences by providing a diverse, energetic and highly qualified faculty with the instructional and research skills necessary to fulfill our mission.
