Mathematics
Professor: Michael Ward
Associate professors: Hamid Behmard, Laurie Burton, Maria Fung
Assistant professors: Cheryl Beaver, Scott Beaver, Klay Kruczek
Mission
Teaching of mathematics and the communication of mathematical ideas. Faculty members believe that both the assimilation of mathematical knowledge and the enhancement of one’s capacity for mathematical reasoning are essential outcomes of a liberal arts education.
Learning Outcomes
- Develop problem solving, modeling and technological skills.
- Demonstrate ability to make rigorous mathematical arguments, work with axiomatic systems, and precisely articulate (both in writing and orally) complicated and technical arguments (both mathematical and logical).
- Understand the distinction between applied and theoretical mathematics, the connection between the two fields, and the breadth of each field.
