• How does a statistician design an experiment to test a new drug? 
• What is an efficient algorithm to solve a differential equation, and when does it work?
• How do you determine a fair price for an annuity? 
• Given a complex network of nodes and edges, what is the shortest path from one vertex to another? 
• How can you teach problem solving in a diverse high school classroom?

These are only some of the questions to be explored in our five undergraduate study options in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. We have a faculty-to-undergraduate student ratio of 5:1, so our students receive personalized attention from faculty recognized for outstanding teaching and excellent research.
