Mathematics
Driving Innovation Through Fundamental and Applied Mathematical Sciences
Mathematics is the oldest and most fundamental of the sciences. Ancient societies all over the world discovered and applied mathematical ideas independently. Mathematics is also a dynamic, rapidly growing subject that finds new applications every day. In recent years, the use of mathematics has been expanding not only in its traditional territory the physical sciences and technology but also into the biological and health sciences, the social and management sciences, and even the humanities.
At WSU Vancouver, the Department of Mathematics is dedicated to providing comprehensive student resources, active mentorship, and robust career preparation. From undergraduate exploration to doctoral-level discovery, our programs empower students to formulate, model, and solve complex problems. By building strong computational skills and analytical flexibility, we prepare our community to lead across corporate, government, and educational sectors.
