Located on the main floor of Wheaton’s science
buildings near the center of Wheaton’s campus, students and
faculty in the department of mathematics and computer science
interact with physical and biological scientists, geologists
and social scientists as well as other disciplines at the
intellectual cross-roads of Wheaton’s curriculum. From this
base, department graduates enter graduate schools in mathematics,
computer science, or related disciplines. Others undertake
careers or advanced training in actuarial science, teaching,
economics, business, and statistics. No matter their eventual
fields of service, while at Wheaton mathematics and computer
science students study and work in classes, individually,
and in small groups with a department faculty whose professional
interests include fractal geometry and chaos theory, crypto-systems,
computing, applied mathematics, probability and statistics,
knot theory, math analysis, and modern algebra. |
