Department of Mathematics

TU’s mathematic programs prepare graduates to meet the demands of a modern global society where sophisticated, quantitative skills are required to solve challenging programs in science, engineering, business, education and government. Mathematicians are essential to the fields of computer science, engineering, bioinformatics, data mining, computer animation, medical imaging, finance, economics, epidemiology, ecology and climatology. The curriculum emphasizes theory and application of mathematics while applying modern tools of communication, modeling and computation necessary for interdisciplinary problem solving and research.

Our faculty who specialize in applied analysis, numerical analysis and mathematical statistics, serve as close mentors to students who excel not only in the classroom but in national competitions. Many of our students choose to pair their mathematics plan of study with another major. In recent years, they have enjoyed notable success, winning Goldwater Scholarships, National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowships and membership invitations in Phi Beta Kappa.
