Mission Statement of the Mathematical Sciences Department:
In keeping with the Jesuit Catholic mission of Loyola College, the Mathematical Sciences Department strives for excellence in education. Our goal is to open students' minds to the power, beauty, and utility of the mathematical sciences and to develop their conceptual understanding, problem solving ability, and analytical thinking skills. The department's faculty is strongly committed to undergraduate teaching and to giving Mathematical Sciences majors a solid and broad-based foundation for a variety of careers as well as for graduate study. Faculty members conduct research in their fields of specialty and also keep abreast of curricular reform and creative uses of technology.
