College of Science, Engineering, and Technology
The Department of Mathematics is dedicated to teaching and research. Our mission is to provide an exciting place for our undergraduate and graduate students to learn and do research in mathematical sciences. The department prepares students for a wide range of career paths, ranging from academia, the insurance industry, engineering, climatology, medicine, law and business. Our students are capable of assuming leadership roles in a rapidly evolving, knowledge-based, multicultural society.
Student Life Overview
The JSU Student Outcomes is the Department of Mathematics and Statistical Sciences Student Outcomes: We have produced academic doctors, university presidents, inventors, Educators, Medical Doctors, Professors, and our students are student athletes too, very good ones, etc.
We do this by helping students access educational and professional opportunities, like internships, undergraduate summer research in the mathematical and statistical sciences opportunities, fellowships and interdisciplinary learning.
Undergraduate
- Join us for an enlightening series of seminars designed to enrich your academic journey and pave the way for your future career. The Undergraduate Math Seminar offers a broad array of sessions. In some seminars we will explore various areas of mathematics, from theoretical concepts to practical applications, and discover the exciting world of math research. Other seminars will enhance your professional toolkit by helping you prepare for internships, graduate school, or a future career.
Whether you are an undergraduate department major seeking to deepen your knowledge or simply someone with a keen interest in learning, you are welcome to attend.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The program offers a thorough and in-depth mathematics education that teaches you how to utilize math to solve some of the most challenging issues in the world.
To solve problems and comprehend natural and artificial phenomena, you will learn to collaborate with experts from various fields, such as the physical sciences, engineering, and business. You will get the chance to participate in faculty-mentored research as an undergraduate math student in a variety of topics, such as the best ways for students to study mathematics or purely mathematical issues.
LEARN BY DOING
After completing the program, you will understand the basic biological principles, think logically and communicate clearly within the field and to other researchers, become conscious of social problems relevant to life sciences, prepare for careers in the life sciences, teaching, and graduate studies, provide a strong pre-professional foundation for medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, optometry, physical therapy, dental hygiene, medical technology, nursing, and medical records administration, and engage in basic and applied research that benefits the local and scientific community,
“Challenging Minds, Changing Lives.”
APPLY YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Your time will be spent collecting and analyzing data or running experiments on state-of-the-art equipment – not solely sitting at desks.
