The mathematical sciences have long provided the necessary languages of the physical sciences, but are now also recognized as important components of study for students in computer science, social sciences, business administration, education, and the biological sciences. Mathematics and statistics are also disciplines in themselves and may be studied purely for the excitement and discovery it brings to those who study it. To meet these needs the department offers an array of courses in pure and applied mathematics and statistics.
Students, prospective students, and all persons having an interest in the department are welcome at the office and are encouraged to visit the Web site. The Web site provides information about the department’s faculty, programs, courses, other services, and its current activities.
Admission requirements
In order to help students plan their programs the Fariborz Maseeh Department of Mathematics and Statistics provides placement assistance and the opportunity to meet with an adviser. All students are urged to avail themselves of these services, especially those students who are enrolling in their first mathematics or statistics course.
Students interested in majoring in mathematics are urged to meet with a department adviser. Students who have decided to major in mathematics should inform both the department and the registrar’s office of that decision. Mathematics majors are encouraged to participate in the activities of the department and to meet on a regular and continuing basis with a departmental adviser.
