The mathematics & computer science department gives all students who take courses a sense of the nature of mathematics and computer science and their place in society.

It provides its majors with an understanding of mathematics and its nature and uses, to help them become effective users of mathematics in their careers.

The mathematics major can tailor upper-level courses to his interests (including pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics) and career goals (including actuarial science, computer science and secondary education).

The department has also seen success in preparing future teachers of mathematics and students interested in continuing graduate study in mathematics or statistics.

The study of computer science involves programming, but it delves beyond just writing more complex or eye-catching programs. A good comprehension of computer science helps the student design better programs and understand how to use a computer to solve new problems.

Participants will explore areas in abstract algebra or applied mathematics and conduct original research in small teams. In addition, participants will engage in seminars designed to investigate the ethics of research. Select participants will present their results at the Joint Mathematical Meetings in January of 2010. more >>>				News Checking in with the Mythbusters more >>>   What’s Happening at Wabash College in December more >>>   What's Happening at Wabash in October more >>>   Madsen's Students more >>>   Celebrate the Arts 2009-2010! more >>>
