Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.
– Albert Einstein

The Mathematics Department is dedicated to providing each student with an education that stresses high quality instruction. Our dynamic, knowledgeable faculty provides a supportive atmosphere which includes mentoring students through a “hands-on” approach to instruction. Students will gain the skills they need, whether they are working to meet professional goals, earn an AA or AS degree, or plan on transferring to a 4-year university.

What we offer:

a full range of mathematics courses
Supplemental Instruction in numerous courses
courses taught using free Open Educational Resources
the provision of a Math Learning Center where students may receive additional assistance
the sponsoring of an on-campus Math Club which competes twice a year in a competition hosted by the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges Student Mathematics League

What Students Say

“Professor Morvan taught me how to conceptualize calculus and clearly articulate what I was doing in my work.”

Timothy O’Connor

“Professor Nusbaum [demonstrated] how math is an art where every step of the process plays an essential role. When a class changes you as a person, you know the professor has made a significant impression on you. Professor Nusbaum has taught me to take pride in my work, be detail-oriented and not omit any steps in a process, and carry myself with integrity, humbleness, and resilience. Thank you for believing in me. I am honored to have been your student and your Math 150B (Calculus II) supplemental instruction leader.”
