We are enthusiastic about the mathematical sciences, and we are proud of the quality of education, research, and services we provide. We invite you to become part of our family.

“Mathematics is the most beautiful and most powerful creation of the human spirit.”

– Stefan Banach

Our department is a diverse and vibrant academic unit in terms of both undergraduate and graduate education. With roughly 60 full-time faculty and staff members, and almost 100 supported graduate students, the department engages in outstanding research in pure and applied mathematics, statistics, biostatistics, actuarial science and data science.

Our nationally acclaimed actuarial science program was recently named a Center of Actuarial Excellence, one of 19 in the U.S. and one of 35 worldwide.

Our students eagerly participate in national contests. A few years ago our team ranked 18th at the Putnam competition out of more than 550 colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada.
