In 2000, we were the ONLY math department in the country with a Rhodes Scholar and a Churchill Scholar among our senior majors. In the past 3 years, our graduating seniors have been accepted to graduate schools in mathematics, applied mathematics, physics, and economics at MIT, Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, Berkeley, U. Penn, Brown, Caltech, just to name a few. Our regular faculty hold Ph.D.'s from Brown, Cambridge, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Princeton, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, U. Chicago, U. Penn., and Yale. Nearly all our faculty have won teaching awards at their previous institutions.
Faculty involve undergraduates in their research.
Several have jointly authored papers with students. Many of our students have also independently authored papers. In 1998, a Mudd math major won 2nd place in the nationwide Morgan Prize for undergraduate research. A Mudd math major won College Jeopardy in 1998, which helped to fund a math scholarship. Outstanding awards won.
