The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God and which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics. The growth of technology in our society presents greater needs for individuals with analytical skills and experience in the development and use of technologies. Concentrations in the mathematical sciences prepare students for a wide variety of careers requiring problem solving, logical reasoning, and applications of current technologies. The mathematics program at Huntington combines the individual attention normally associated with small liberal arts colleges with the educational opportunities and research-active faculty normally found only at major universities. The Mathematics Department offers Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science in Science, and Bachelor of Science in education degrees.
Computer science is a new and fast growing field compared to most disciplines.
As such, the key to an effective computer science program is the ability to provide a solid foundation in the fundamentals of computer science while also offering the flexibility to explore the latest innovations in current technologies and programming. Huntington's program strives to provide this balance by providing a solid foundation in fundamental programming using multiple current programming languages. Students build upon their programming foundation by pursuing topics of interest through a variety of projects that strive to provide the most current applications of technology in use today. The new learning center will add to the already incredible facilities available on campus for the study of mathematics and computer science. Huntington College mathematics major, Lisa Umphery 2000, passes on the power of mathematics to 7th grade students at Salamonie School during her internship.
