CDC Internships Student Groups Academics Athletics Mathematics Connect with Mathematics Today, mathematics permeates nearly every aspect of the world, appearing sometimes as a tool and other times as a theoretical science. The Department of Mathematics facilitates growth in both areas by collaborating with other departments to encourage students to develop skills needed for study in those departments, and to foster an appreciation of mathematics for its own sake.
Students begin their study of mathematics at a level based on their interest and experience.
Students can complete a major or minor in mathematics. At Hamline, students may' also complete a program in licensing for secondary school teaching in mathematics. This is a way for students to let others know about their current projects, and also to get ideas from what others have accomplished. Connect with Community Students who plan to go into teaching can participate in Hand in Hand, a program that establishes relationships between Hamline students and students at the Hamline-Hancock Collaborative Magnet School in Saint Paul. Our students mentor these elementary school students by helping them with school assignments and activities.
