~~META:title=Homepage~~ ######Welcome to the Homepage of######\\ Department of Mathematics and Statistics [[calculus]] Check out the [[pow:start|Problem of the Week]]. /*{{ :img:a0a0666.jpg }}*/ The **Department of Mathematics and Statistics (DOMS)** is a vibrant community where mathematicians and statisticians converge to explore, innovate, and educate. We offer a comprehensive range of academic programs, spanning the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels. Thus, besides our faculty and postdoctoral visitors, our community includes a large and valuable cadre of hard-working and talented undergraduate and graduate students. At the [[ug|undergraduate]] level, we have two kinds of degrees: general degrees for majors in **Mathematical Sciences** are labeled **Bachelor of Arts (BA)**, while our more intensive undergraduate degrees are labeled **Bachelor of Science (BS)**. There is both a track in //Mathematics// and a track in //[[:actuary:|Actuarial Science]]// within each degree. For the BA degree, there is also a track in //Statistics//. For more details, see the page on the [[ug|undergraduate programs]]. Additionally, we offer a minor in mathematics, enabling students from other disciplines to enrich their academic journey. At the [[gd|graduate]] level, we have the **PhD in //Mathematical Sciences//**, **Master of Arts (MA) in //Mathematics//**, and **MA in //[[http://www.math.binghamton.edu/mas|Statistics]]//** degrees. We cooperate with the [[https://www.binghamton.edu/tlel/|Department of Teaching, Learning and Educational Leadership]] in their [[https://www.binghamton.edu/tlel/academics/initial-preparation/adolescence-education/|Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT)]] degree for future high school teachers. There is also a 4+1 option for both the [[https://www.binghamton.edu/tlel/academics/initial-preparation/adolescence-accelerated/|MAT]] and the MA in //[[ug:4_1_math_stat|Statistics]]// degrees, allowing a student to obtain both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree within five years. Read the page on [[gd#Funding|Graduate Programs]] for more details, including information about **financial support for graduate students**. While our highest degree is a PhD in //Mathematical Sciences//, a significant number of our doctoral dissertations are written on research topics in //Statistics//. All faculty members and postdoctoral visitors are active researchers. The [[research|main areas of concentration]] in the department are: **Algebra**, **Analysis**, **Combinatorics**, **Geometry/Topology** and **Statistics**. Additionally, there is active research that falls between and bridges the main areas. See the [[research| Research Areas]] page for more specific research topics. //The photos above were taken by Jinghao Li, Ph.D. 15'.// ---- \\ ==== Latest Department News ==== Click [[news-archive|here]] for the full news archive. {{blog>news?2&nouser&nocomments&firstseconly}} //Suggestions and comments about the website can be sent to webmaster@math.binghamton.edu//
