Mathematicians study math in its own right, or as it is applied to other disciplines such as physics and engineering.
No matter whether your discipline is pure math or applied math, you will get the best of both worlds at JMU. There are in-depth faculty-student collaborative experiences usually only found in smaller liberal arts institutions, along with the breadth and diversity of offerings of a large institution. Our faculty is committed to incorporating student projects into their research, and guiding undergraduates through the processes of proposing and carrying out professional level research projects in mathematics. In addition, our conferences, clubs and outreach programs designed specifically for undergraduates make our majors true members of our community.
