Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics is committed to helping students at all levels encounter and appreciate mathematics.  For students wanting a complete mathematical experience, we offer two undergraduate programs in mathematics and data science. See our major page for more information. If you want to add just a bit of mathematical rigor to your major, we offer a minor in mathematics as well. The department prides itself on the individual attention it provides to students, including small class sizes and opportunities for research with faculty.  If you are interested in participating in undergraduate research in mathematics or an internship in mathematics, visit our Internships and Undergraduate Research page.

The Department of Mathematics operates the Mathematics Tutorial Center, or MTC, located in 271 Bancroft Hall where students enrolled in mathematics courses may obtain individual assistance. In addition, some courses use mathematical software which is available for students in BANC 173 and SIMS 114. The MTC is staffed by faculty and upper division mathematics majors and minors, requires no appointment, and is free to Winthrop students.

In addition to teaching, mathematics faculty participate in ongoing scholarly activity that includes searching for new mathematical results, placing modern mathematics in its cultural and educational context, producing pedagogical materials of high quality, working with area K-12 educators, and consulting with area businesses and organizations. The mathematics faculty also serves the Winthrop community by providing counsel on mathematical and statistical issues and serves the larger community through consulting and participation in discipline-specific professional organizations.
