Finally, information has been received on the availability of internships, and several students have been employed under this type of arrangement in the summer months. As time goes on, these industrial relationships will be expanded and strengthened to the benefit of both faculty and students. Our other significant resources in the Department are our library resources and our computer equipment. Our library holdings are excellent for student-related activities and programs and for most research purposes. Students will find a wide variety of books and journals available to them.
Interlibrary loans are available in case of deficiencies.
The Department is an institutional member of several professional organizations and through these has access to journals, books, meetings, and other activities which assist in maintaining a strong program overall. Frequently upper level students are nominated for student memberships in some of these organizations, particularly the Mathematical Association of America, whose several journals are geared to the undergraduate level. The teaching lab contains 12 Wintel pc computers and a heavy duty laser printer. This lab is used primarily for teaching in mathematics and statistics courses with intense computational components. The research computer lab, which contains one Macintosh, one Gateway, and several Sun workstatations, is generally used by faculty and graduate students for research.
