The mission of
the Department of
Mathematics and Computer Science is to
provide contemporary educational opportunities for those in the Drew
University community who will benefit from knowledge of mathematics,
statistics, and computing and the social and ethical environments in
which we practice these disciplines.
Our audiences include students who wish to pursue careers that make
use of computing, applied mathematics, and statistics; students who
wish to pursue graduate study mathematics, computer science or
statistics; and students, staff, and faculty across the disciplines for
whom learning in one or more areas of mathematics or computer science
would be advantageous, or with whom we can fruitfully collaborate in
interdisciplinary programs or projects.
We strive to help our
students develop the following: a facility for effective problem
analysis, a keen sense of the appropriate application of existing
problem-solving techniques and technologies, and the ability to
innovate when necessary. Furthermore, we endeavor to train students to
work effectively in teams and to communicate clearly, orally as well as
in writing. We aim to give our students an appreciation of our
disciplines’ relevance to various careers and to many aspects of modern
life.
In all its activities, the department endeavors to
be inclusive and equitable, and to recognize and challenge biases and
negative stereotypes.
