WELCOME TO THE MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES DIVISION

The Division of Mathematical Sciences offers instruction to students in mathematics, computer science and engineering. Mathematics courses include basic skills and general education, courses for future teachers, and courses for students majoring in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The computer science program includes a variety of computer language courses and preparation for students transferring to four-year computer science programs. In engineering two courses are offered.

The division is dedicated to promoting student success at all levels. The Mathematics Study Center (MCS106) provides one-to-one tutoring on a drop-in basis. Many mathematics courses provide students the opportunity to use computational technology, such as graphing calculators, Mathematica, and MINITAB.
