Current Undergraduate Students in Mathematics
Earn an Undergraduate Degree in Mathematics
The Department of Mathematics prides itself in offering an excellent curriculum at the undergraduate level. It allows students to take courses in both theoretical and applied mathematics. Courses at the undergraduate level include introductory analysis, differential equations, applied statistics, and linear programming, just to name a few.
The Department recognizes the role of technology in the classroom, and its courses have evolved accordingly. The use of computers and graphing calculators are being integrated into all levels of instruction. Computer-aided laboratory classes are available. Students in applied statistics courses learn the uses of computer in statistical analysis. Even freshman-level courses are integrating computer lab projects into their curriculum.

Academic Advising
Freshmen mathematics majors, like most freshmen on campus, are advised through the Center for Student Success and First Year Experience (CSSFYE). The Center for Student Success and First Year Experience is an excellent resource for all first-year students as their commitment is to helping students successfully transition to college. Sophomores through seniors are advised in the Department of Mathematics..

Beyond the Classroom
Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM)
The purpose of the Association for Women in Mathematics is to create a community in which women and girls can thrive in their mathematical endeavors, and to promote equitable opportunity and treatment of women and others of marginalized genders and gender identities across the mathematical sciences.
Math Competitions
Our undergraduates participate in the annual Putnam Competition, run by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA).
The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition is the preeminent mathematics competition for undergraduate college students in the United States and Canada. The Putnam Competition takes place annually on the first Saturday of December. The competition consists of two 3-hour sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. During each session, participants work individually on 6 challenging mathematical problems.
Pi Mu Epsilon
Pi Mu Epsilon, a national honorary mathematics society, was founded in 1914 at Syracuse University and was incorporated on May 25, 1914, under the laws of the State of New York. Its roots date back to a mathematics club that was founded at Syracuse in 1903. Pi Mu Epsilon (PME) is a non-secret organization whose purpose is the promotion of scholarly activity in mathematics among students in academic institutions.
