Integrate research into your academic program

As a student in the math department, research is an integral component of your academic program.

Increasingly, the tools—the concepts and techniques—of mathematics are playing a vital role in the advancement of science and technology. As these tools are discovered, developed, and refined through mathematical research, they also feed into a broader effort in the training of technical personnel.

You’ll have the advantage of researching alongside a strong and talented faculty with research programs covering many important areas in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics and actuarial science.
