Think analytically and solve complex problems as you explore fields of advanced mathematics and statistics at DePauw. In classes of typically less than 20 students, master faculty will guide you through reading and writing mathematical proofs, modeling real-world scenarios and honing your ability to recognize and reason through problems to find a creative solution.
With majors in mathematics or actuarial sciences and minors in applied statistics, data science and mathematics, you will find many pathways at DePauw to successful careers in business, engineering, healthcare, IT and more.
Mathematical Sciences
The biggest part of my teaching is building connections with my students and creating a community in my classroom.-Naima Shifa
