- The MS in Computer Science is discussed under Computer Science and the MS in Statistics is discussed under Statistics. The Mathematics degrees are discussed below. The MS degrees in Mathematics with concentrations in computer science, pure and applied mathematics, and statistics provide students with the advanced material needed for positions of leadership in business, industry and government as well as for teaching at the high school and community college level. The concentration in mathematics education will upgrade the skills of teachers and offers a special combination of courses in mathematics, mathematics education and the use of technology in mathematics education. This degree does not lead to certification. All the concentrations prepare students to pursue doctoral degrees.
- At present, 19 full-time faculty members are teaching graduate courses in pure and applied mathematics, mathematics education or statistics. Our curriculum in mathematics has extensively integrated modern methods of computing. The special interests of the faculty include algebra, analysis, applied statistics, chaos theory, combinatorics, dynamical systems, game theory, graph theory, logic, mathematical modeling, mathematics/computer science education, methods and techniques of teaching mathematics, modeling in the biological, chemical and physical sciences, operations research, problem solving, representation theory, statistical computing and graphics, voting theory, and the use of technology in education. Our faculty in mathematics education are known throughout the United States.
