Department of Mathematical Sciences
"With 21 tenure-track faculty, 65 undergraduate majors and 25 graduate students, there is lots of interaction between faculty and students. Upper-level math classes are small (usually, 15 or fewer students) and our faculty are friendly and accessible."
- The mathematical sciences at the University of Montana are a diverse set of disciplines that deal with inference, deduction, and proof, with mathematical models of natural and human phenomena, and with the exploration and analysis of data. We have courses in applied mathematics, combinatorics & optimization, mathematics education, pure mathematics (algebra and analysis), and statistics.
- People with strong mathematics backgrounds are in high demand in business, industry, science, teaching, law, and many other fields. Our degree programs are flexible, allowing students to combine mathematics with another field of interest. Many of our undergraduates have a second major – physics, computer science, business, art, music, and biology are recent examples – and many of our faculty and students work on research problems in biology, chemistry, and other areas.
- We offer B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees. We also have special programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels for prospective and current teachers.
