The mathematics department is a welcoming community of dedicated scholars and students brought together by our shared joy in the exploration of mathematics. A true liberal arts department, our research and teaching range across the discipline, from number theory to statistics, with outside connections to biology, computer science, political science, economics, and physics. We prioritize mentorship for all our faculty and are excited to welcome new members who share our commitment to research, teaching, and building a community that actively broadens who counts themselves as mathematicians. 

Our talented students form the core of our community. With roughly fifty majors each year, ours is among the largest majors on campus, while still retaining an intimate and engaging culture that attempts to cultivate the spark of learning in each of its members. In addition to engaging classroom dynamics, we benefit from weekly student-faculty lunches, faculty supported study sessions, and a variety of seminar series focusing on faculty research, teaching practice, and topics of interest to students.
