Our concern is to see each student as an individual, and to challenge her to develop her full potential. Although we are all actively involved in research, each of us chose Mount Holyoke because of a strong commitment to teaching. The math majors have an active Math Club that sponsors lectures and programs throughout the year.
Advanced students have opportunities to tutor beginning students or students in local high schools.
These awards help support other distinctive features of our department such as our Undergraduate Mathematics Summer Research Institute, our Laboratory in Mathematical Experimentation for sophomores, and our laboratory of computers for advanced courses and independent work, and our new robotics laboratory. Our major program in statistics, emphasizing data analysis and inference, is unusual among liberal arts colleges. All in all, for a college of our size, we have a program of extraordinary breadth and depth. I hope this gives you some idea of what Mount Holyoke has to offer in the mathematical sciences. We would be happy to talk with you about your interests and goals.
