Mathematics...

...reaches realistic solutions using abstract tools. We can create mathematical models at any scale — electrons, ecosystems, or economies. We can design new molecules for medicines and materials. We can optimize for efficient communication and secure networking. We can decode a genome and decipher its history. We can discover the best environmental and financial options.

Applied mathematicians use mathematics to solve problems in science and engineering. We set up systems of differential and functional equations, solve them directly or approximately via programming, and then apply the practical results. Theoretical mathematicians explore beyond the physical models. We create new mathematics by uncovering logical structures, geometries, patterns and symmetries.

With a degree in mathematics or applied mathematics you can work in virtually any field— in the public, academic and industrial sectors. Math majors have all the skills employers want!

Announcements for Fall 2018

    Calendar    

• WIM Lecture Series: Thursday November 1st at 4:30pm. Dr. Alexis Byers, an Assistant Professor at YSU, will give the talk "Moving Gracefully Toward Graph Coloring." In this talk, Dr. Byers will describe how a 19th century problem on sets led to a 20th century problem on the decomposition of graphs, which, in turn, resulted in a graph labeling problem that gracefully led to a 21st century concept on coloring of graphs.
• WIM Lecture Series: Tuesday October 2nd at 4:30pm in Olin Hall 113. Dr. Carla Cotwright-Williams will give a presentation about her career and tell us about what she does as a mathematician at the Department of Defense in Washington DC.
• Thanks for a great picnic! Thursday, September 20, 2018, 5:45 pm: The annual fall picnic at Sand Run Park Mingo Lodge (map) was hosted by the math student groups: PME, WIM and SIAM.
• Seminars and Colloquia are currently scheduled in algebra, combinatorics and PDE's.
• SIAM Student Chapter will host Dr. Nao Mimoto, an associate professor of Statistics at UA, on Wednesday September 5th at 5pm (new time) in CAS 142. Dr. Mimoto will talk about Actuarial Science, Financial Time Series, and Machine Learning.
• Join Pi Mu Epsilon! Anyone can join the student organization as a math club member (no requirements except loving math!) and then apply for honor society membership in the spring.
• We have now an official SIAM Student Chapter. Anyone can join the student organization.
• The Women In Mathematics group is hosting seminars this semester by female mathematicians on their research and career opportunities.
Anyone can join the student organization. Meet up weekly on days TBA.
