The Mathematics Department offers distinctive undergraduate educational programs in pure and applied mathematics as well as in mathematics education. Our faculty develops and conducts high quality research and its members participate in the mathematics and urban education doctoral programs of The Graduate Center of The City University of New York. The department offers a bachelor of arts, a bachelor of science, and minor in mathematics as well as a bachelor of arts degree in adolescence education for mathematics teachers and a concentration for education majors in the following programs: early childhood education teacher (birth-grade 2); childhood education teacher (grades 1-6). We are dedicated to providing our students with the best possible understanding of mathematics as a deductive science. We also promote mathematical knowledge applied to such other fields as the natural sciences, actuarial science, computer science, pre-engineering, economics, finance, primary and secondary education, and the quantitative social sciences. Students who major, minor, or take a course in mathematics increase their computational facility, develop their appreciation for the abstract structures and reasoning at the heart of mathematics, and enhance their ability to apply mathematics to real-world problems. Mathematics students gain experience with current mathematical software and technology, and may study computational mathematics in conjunction with the Computer and Information Science Department. Mathematics students may elect to develop expertise in financial mathematics to obtain the marketable credentials for work in the financial industry. Students who wish to pursue graduate studies in theoretical or applied mathematics may apply to the master's and doctoral degree programs offered by or in conjunction with this department.
