Mathematics

Mission Statement

The Mathematics Department of Regis College educates men and women in the quantitative sciences. It enables students in every department of the college to hone their quantitative, analytic and critical abilities and to develop problem-solving skills. It offers courses in which students learn to analyze and interpret numerical data in a variety of real-world contexts. It offers a very rich upper division curriculum, which enables students to become strong teachers of mathematics, to work in highly technical fields, or to pursue graduate work in mathematics or other related fields.

The quantitative skills that the Mathematics Department provides are essential for people who want to make a positive impact in a changing and increasingly technological society. The faculty of the Mathematics Department live lives of service to our students by both caring for them as students and challenging them to achieve a level of excellence in their studies. We encourage the life of the mind and the search for truth by offering challenging courses that include contemporary topics and problems in mathematics. We emphasize the application of mathematics to real-world problems the solution of which will have a positive impact on society.

What Do Our Graduates Say?

"The diversity of the department is unique. Everyone is every open and honest, yet each has their own characteristics to add to the department. Together the unit seems close and personable."

Tom B. Courchene (Class of 1992)

"There is a very good selection of classes - very diverse. Professors are very competent, easy to approach. I liked how everything was applied to real-life situations, not just theory."

Heather M. Litwhiler (Class of 1992), Employed by Storage Technology Corporation

What Is Mathematics?

Mathematics is one of the most dynamic, rapidly growing, highly applicable academic disciplines. Pure mathematics concerns itself with studies of structure, form, and quantitative relationships. Mathematical concepts enrich computer science, statistics, economics, and the natural sciences. Mathematics is the language of the physical sciences. Our society has an urgent need for people with highly developed analytic ability and quantitative skills.

Who Should Major In Mathematics?

Mathematics is a challenging but very practical major. Some mathematics majors study mathematics for its own sake. More often students combine a mathematics major with a major or minor in a discipline such as business, computer science, chemistry, biology, psychology, or economics. These students enter the job market with highly developed analytic and quantitative abilities and a good understanding of a field to which these skills may be applied. Anyone who welcomes a challenge and who is interested in mathematics or any field that uses quantitative tools should consider a major or minor in mathematics.
