The mission of the mathematics department is to train our students in the knowledge and skills commonly used in the field of mathematics and its applications. We believe that God has spoken his Creation in the language of mathematics: that is, mathematics is consistently embedded in all of Creation. Thus, to study God's Creation, one needs a strong understanding of mathematics. Students are expected to obtain a working knowledge of skills needed to understand the Creation.
