Mathematics
Professor: Kanchana Gamlath
A minor is offered in Mathematic Modeling.
The mission of the Mathematics program is to develop clear thinking and an appreciation
of the indispensable role of the discipline in understanding our data-driven modern
world. The following goals permeate program coursework. Specifically, through the
courses in our program, students will develop:
• the recognition that mathematics is a process, not a black box that merely presents
the “correct” answer,
• skills for exploring and understanding various mathematical models, from a variety
of academic fields,
• logical thinking skills,
• facility with the appropriate uses of technology and in reading mathematics, and,
perhaps most importantly,
• the ability to share their work with the appropriate audience, both orally and in
print.
