An active colloquium series brings speakers to the department from around the country and the world. Nearly half of the faculty members have written college level mathematics textbooks. The undergraduate program in the department receives a great deal of attention from the faculty. Nearly all courses from Calculus and up are taught by regular full-time faculty members. Class sizes are kept reasonably small.
Faculty members are easily available to undergraduate majors.
There is an active student Math Club . Each year several seniors write Senior theses under the guidance of faculty members. Undergraduates can participate in competitions such as the Putnam Exam and the Mathematical Contest in Modeling . Several undergraduates have participated in the Undergraduate Research Programs available at some universities during the summer. Undergraduates have an opportunity to work in the department's developmental mathematics laboratory and the department's computer labs.
