Mission Statement

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at YSU is committed to the highest standards of excellence in teaching, research, scholarship, and service.

We strive to enhance students' abilities both to reason mathematically and to communicate mathematical ideas effectively, as well as to instill in students a desire to continue their involvement in mathematics. The Department of Mathematics & Statistics offers a variety of personalized and comprehensive learning opportunities to its baccalaureate and master's level students.

These personalized learning opportunities strengthen the link between teaching and scholarship by allowing students to participate in faculty research, seminars, and couoquia.

The department is committed to the development of a community of scholars which will include not only faculty but also graduate and undergraduate students. The continued development of faculty scholarship is a significant testimony to the commitment faculty have toward their profession.

The Department of Mathematics & Statistics strongly believes in maintaining a close relationship with the rest of the university, local schools, and local community through jointly sponsored activities such as research, meetings, and workshops. The depar-tment is committed to being the vanguard in the use of modern technology in its endeavors as it prepares to enter the 21st century.
