The Mathematics Department is committed to the development, teaching, and learning of mathematics at all levels. Our faculty are actively engaged in research in many areas of pure and applied mathematics. We offer undergraduate and graduate degrees that will prepare students for jobs in industry, education, or mathematical research. We also teach a wide range of introductory mathematics courses for students in science, engineering, business, and the liberal arts, and support those students with our Math Tutorial Lab.
The research of Professor Emeritus Herb Hethcote on mathematical models to track the spread of infectious disease is highlighted in IOWANow.
