Mathematical Sciences Department > Our Mission


The mission of the Department of Mathematical Sciences is to foster an environment of intellectual growth as a catalyst to develop certain habits of mind for students and faculty, including attention to rigorous thinking, analytic and synthesizing skills, problem solving processes and techniques, and creativity for adaptation to evolving disciplines. To this end, we strive to motivate and stimulate interest in the mathematical sciences for majors and non-majors, assist all students to understand the value in and the applications of the mathematical sciences, provide an adequate blend of theory and methodology, prepare students to deal with change by helping them to learn how to learn, and support continued professional growth of faculty.
