The Mathematics Department is a diverse, interesting department.
Professors are devoted to their students and are readily available for help.
Class sizes in the lower level courses run around twenty-five, and upper level enrollments are generally from five to fifteen students. Faculty dedication and small classes help facilitate strong, lively student-faculty interaction. There are several established combined majors and opportunities to propose special combined majors, such as Mathematics-Philosophy. There are many opportunities for students to work with faculty on creative research problems in both pure and applied mathematics, and many such projects have resulted in presentations by students at professional meetings and The Whitman Conference. The department sponsors evening help sessions for lower level courses and a mathematics club which provides a social-recreational mathematical opportunity for those interested.
