The goal of the Mathematics curriculum is twofold:
To provide students enrolled in Business, the Natural Sciences and Allied Health Programs with the particular skills they need for higher-level work in their concentrations.

To give students in Liberal Arts programs a deeper appreciation for the reality of mathematics that lies beyond mere computational skills. The emphasis is on logic and systematic construction leading to more sophisticated mathematical models.

The mathematics curriculum provides a variety of offerings that survey the meaning of mathematics as a logical system. The particular models chosen to exemplify these logical principles will vary from time to time depending on the current interests of our students and faculty. Since such models are meant to be illustrations only, the choice can be selective without any change of purpose.

The Mathematics Department provides students with tutorial support for all courses in the Mathematics Laboratory. This facility is staffed by tutors supervised by the coordinator of the laboratory. Students are referred by the mathematics faculty or the College Discovery counselor. The service is provided primarily on a drop-in basis. Approximately 500 hours of tutorial support are provided weekly.

All courses in the Mathematics Department can be offered in English or Spanish, depending upon student needs.

Students planning to continue study in mathematics are advised to consult with the Mathematics Department chairperson.
