Mathematics Department
As a mathematics faculty we are committed to providing students with quality mathematical instruction and timely academic advising. Additionally, we strive to:
- Exemplify and foster Christ-like attributes.
- Promote the learning of mathematical ideas by the Spirit, which can quicken students' understanding and enlarge their natural capacities.
- Prepare students to be mathematically competent as teachers or as professionals in industries that rely on quantitative analysis and synthesis.
- Cultivate in students an appreciation for the beauty, utility, and power of mathematics.
- Inspire students to pursue intellectual goals long after their formal education is completed.
