Mathematical Sciences
Where Numbers Meet Innovation
Welcome
The Department of Mathematical Sciences offers undergraduate degrees in actuarial sciences, applied mathematics, mathematics, mathematics & data science, mathematics and economics, and secondary math education. We offer graduate programs in mathematics and applied mathematics.
Why UD MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES?
Our faculty do cutting-edge research, publishing over 100 papers per year in refereed journals and conference proceedings.
- The department is helping to train the next generation of mathematicians, awarding approximately eight doctoral degrees, 12 master's degrees, and 65 bachelor's degrees each year.
