The Mathematics Major and Minor at Davidson

The study of mathematics offers a unique and important way of interpreting the world around us, bringing accuracy and rigor to the quest for discovering patterns in observations both abstract and concrete. 

The Mathematics and Computer Science Department intends for majors to acquire a broad and solid base in mathematics enabling both further study and application, and we aim to provide an outstanding undergraduate environment of courses and opportunities. 

We nurture mathematical, computational, and algorithmic points of view in students embarking on a liberal education, desiring skills for other endeavors, and pursuing contemporary ideas in mathematics and computer science.

Students interested in declaring a mathematics major should fill out the Mathematics Major Declaration Form. Survey responses will be used to match students with faculty advisors. This matching will happen at the beginning of each month during the semester.

Students interested in declaring a mathematics minor submit the Mathematics Minor Declaration Form (PDF) to the department chair.
