The Department of Mathematics and Statistics welcomes you back to the start of a new Fall semester.

We look forward to working with all the new undergraduate and graduate students who are entering the department for the first time.

At a time when mathematics and statistics are more important than ever in solving the issues of the world, we are proud to be involved with such a prestigious endeavor.
Professor Jens Lorenz to be Interim Chair

Dr. Lorenz received his doctoral degree from the Westfalische Wilhelms-Universitat Munster in 1975. His Dissertation was entitled Die Inversmonotonie von Matrizen und ihre Anwendung beim Stabilitatsnachweis von Differenzenverfahren.

His areas of reseach are Applied Analysis and Scientific Computing. Specific problems that he has worked on lately include: the stability of shock and spiral waves; the modeling of ocean circulations for climate studies; the transition from smooth to rough attractors and Lyapunov-type numbers. He is broadly interested in partial differential equations and their numerical approximation.
Department of Mathematics and Statistics -- Learning Outcomes 

The department of Mathematics and Statistics has designed the courses in the core sequence (Math 121-181, and Stat 145) to provide coherent and effective instruction for students in other majors or programs.

Our purpose is to prepare students to effectively use quantitative and symbolic reasoning and analysis in their personal and professional lives.

The following student learning outcomes (SLOs) describe what a student should be able to DO at the end of their math course . These learning outcomes provide a focus and a standard for the classroom for both the instructor and the student.

Math 121   Math 123   Math 150   Math 162 Math 163   Math 180   Math 215
