The Mathematics Division educates students in the mathematics necessary to function in an increasingly diverse, complex and global society. The division provides opportunities for students to master a body of knowledge and technical skills from the discipline of mathematics as they develop enhanced communication skills and mathematical habits of the mind. The division includes a Learning Support program in mathematics.
Students planning to pursue an academic program in teaching secondary mathematics, in mathematics or in statistics may take the first two years of study directed by a mathematics advisor. Students should be fully aware of the curriculum of the institution to which they plan to transfer and must follow close advisement.
Students planning to pursue an academic program in engineering may take the first two years of study directed by a pre-engineering advisor. Students should be fully aware of the curriculum of the institution to which they plan to transfer and must follow close advisement.
The division supports program emphases in Mathematics, Mathematics Education, Statistics, and Pre-Engineering.
The division contributes to General Education by enhancing student ability to analyze, discuss, and use quantitative information, demonstrate a reasonable level of facility in mathematical problem solving and recognize connections between mathematics and other disciplines.
The division collaborates with the K-12 education community in workshops.
