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.
