Our department is dedicated to teaching and has a student to teacher ratio that is highly favorable to students. Students are consistently able to receive the individual attention they need directly from their professors.
A wide variety of courses coupled with the varied backgrounds and research interests of the faculty make each of the degree programs offered in the Math department well rounded.
Students have opportunities to work on research
projects in mathematics and interdisciplinary projects
involving computer science, statistics, biology,
environmental research or any of the physical
sciences. These projects give students the
hands on experience that makes bridging the
gap between course work and the real world
easier.
The environment at Mesa State College is supportive
of mathematics students. In addition to the tutoring
and computing resources available to all students,
Mesa State College has a Mathematics Club, a student
chapter of the Mathematical Association of America
(MAA) and an active chapter of Kappa Mu Epsilon (KME) which is a national Mathematics honor society.

You may have seen the Honda ads on TV recently. A team including musician/mathematician Paul Du Gre worked on "The Civic Project: Musical Road". The project developed a rumble strip on a road in Lancaster, CA that when driven over (at 55 mph) sounded like the "William Tell Overture." Du Gre notes that the measured slits in the road (varying grooves) became data to to create the tones. The road was paved over so the strip no longer exists, but you can view videos of the Honda commercials that describe the process (and videos--of the production and the reaction--can also be found on YouTube).
