The mathematical research done at 51ºÚÁÏ is on a level that gets the attention of people at major research universities, and yet undergraduate students in mathematics here get a great deal of attention from the faculty. Our program is unusual in this regard, and in terms of the percentage of students who major in mathematics: five or six times the national average.
