Department of Mathematical Sciences
Welcome
The Department of Mathematical Sciences is recognized as a leading
department in mathematics, mathematics education, and statistics in the
Rocky Mountain region. Bachelors, masters, and doctoral graduates in
all areas are following successful careers in industry, government, and
academia.
Our department has a
multifaceted role on campus and in Montana. We have the largest
instructional component on campus, delivering about 10% of the total
student credit hours. We offer a B.S. in Mathematics with options in
mathematics, applied mathematics, mathematics teaching, and statistics;
an M.S. in Mathematics with options in mathematics and mathematics
education; an M.S. in Statistics; an M.S. in Ecological and
Environmental Statistics; a Ph.D. in Mathematics with emphases in
mathematics and mathematics education; and a Ph.D. in Statistics. The
mathematics education option for the M.S. in Mathematics is an online
program.
Mathematical research at MSU
is focused primarily on related topics in pure and applied mathematics.
Research programs complement each other and are often applied to
problems in science and engineering. Research in statistics encompasses
a broad range of theoretical and applied topics. Because the
statisticians are actively engaged in interdisciplinary work, much of
the statistical research is directed toward practical problems.
Mathematics education faculty are active in both qualitative and
quantitative experimental research areas. These include paradigm shifts
in mathematics education and the use of multiple embodiments utilizing
modeling and technology.
