Hands-on Learning
Students are actively involved in their learning, and have modeled plasmas on a super-computer, designed activities for local k-12 students, and regularly compete in national math contests.
After Graduation
A Mathematics degree builds a foundation to pursue a higher degree in many different fields and develops the analytical and problem-solving skills prized by employers.
Did you know?
Contemporary mathematics continues the tradition of providing the underlying basis and structure for virtually all modern scientific and technological developments.
Every year, math students are invited to participate in the State of Jefferson Mathematics Congress. This weekend camping trip brings mathematics students and faculty together from Humboldt and other universities in the region to share math, meals, and a campfire.
Careers
Mathematics students hone their ability to think critically, becoming thoughtful about what they state and what they prove.
