Lawrence University Department of Mathematics

Mathematics is a wide field. To reflect its diversity and applications, the department, alone or in conjunction with computer science and economics, offers three separate but overlapping majors: mathematics, mathematics-computer science, and mathematics-economics. Students can minor in these areas as well. Additionally, the mathematics and mathematics-computer science majors can lead to certification as a high school mathematics teacher as part of Lawrence's program in secondary education.
 
Work in mathematics is both individual and collaborative. We want our students to understand their studies at a deep level even as we want them to ask questions and learn from their peers. The department faculty and majors maintain open and friendly relationships with each other. We have an official weekly Tea to get together for discussion and homemade goodies.
