MISSION

The mission of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science is the development and dissemination of the knowledge of quantitative and algorithmic skills and methods necessary in our technological society.

GOALS

The goals: 

• Providing service to the entire University community, from entering freshmen with weak academic backgrounds to graduate students and other department faculty who need to upgrade their quantitative and algorithmic skills; 
• Preparing graduate and undergraduate students in these areas for advanced study, teaching in secondary schools, and careers as practitioners in the field.
• Preparing graduate and undergraduate students in these areas for advanced study, teaching in secondary schools, and careers as practitioners in the field;
• Advancing knowledge in the area of mathematics and computer science via faculty and students through research; and,
• Making the results of current mathematical, statistical and computer science methods and techniques available to the University and surrounding communities. 

OBJECTIVES 

In order to fulfill its role, the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science aims at the development in each student of:

• The ability to think clearly, independently, and critically;
• The ability to compose and interpret mathematical statements,
• The development of a strong foundation of classical and modern concepts in mathematics and computer science for majors;
• The understanding and successful application of the basic quantitative and algorithmic skills and techniques necessary for non-majors to enable them to analyze and solve problems;
• The necessary skills and competencies, both theoretical and practical, involved in the use of computers as a tool in solving problems in the rapidly expanding number of fields now influenced by computer science technology; and,
• The necessary specialized background required for those students planning to continue with advanced graduate.

• The ability to teach a broad range of subjects for its service role, majors, graduates and for the community;
• Skills to keep abreast in the fields of mathematics and computer science through research in appropriate areas of academic specialization; and,
• Skills in counseling students, colleagues, and community members in the planning of their academic careers.

In meeting its goals, the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science serves all departments of the University. It offers undergraduate majors in Mathematics, (teaching and non-teaching); in Computer Science (directed towards Business Applications), and Computer Science (directed toward Scientific Applications); and, a graduate degree program in Applied Computer Science. Students in the department may specialize in classical mathematics, probability and statistics, applied mathematics, and/or computer science.
