Department of Mathematics and Statistics
The Mathematics Department provides a broad range of programs from which a student can make a selection designed to satisfy any of a large variety of objectives. In addition to providing instruction in the traditional areas of pure and applied mathematics, our course catalogue is unusually strong in statistics and actuarial mathematics.
The Department offers two undergraduate majors: the major in mathematics and the major in actuarial and mathematical sciences. A third major, the major in computer science and applied mathematics, is offered jointly with the Computer Science Department. The Department offers graduate programs leading to Masters and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Mathematics. The Masters programs include a Secondary School Teaching sequence and a Statistics sequence.
The Department consists of 24 faculty members, a number of visiting faculty, with about 40 masters students and 30 doctoral students. We form a warm, family-like mathematical community. There is a lively schedule of seminars each week: research seminars, a graduate student seminar, and undergraduate Math Club meetings. About 15 percent of the students are international students and about 30 percent of the students are women.

have teamed up to bring writer, performer and “recovering mathematician” Gioia De Cari to campus for a performance of “Truth Values: One Woman’s Romp Through M.I.T.’s Male Math Maze” on Wednesday, February 8 at 7:30pm. A former Ph.D. student in Math at M.I.T., De Cari’s 75-minute solo show is a humorous, scathing, insightful and ultimately uplifting true-life tale of the challenges of being a professional woman in a male-dominated field.
