Department of Mathematics

Mathematics is central

to an advanced technological society, and the Mathematics Department at Iowa State University plays a major role in its teaching, research and service at the university.

We are dedicated

to providing high quality instruction to all students who take a mathematics course, and to imparting a basic knowledge of the subject to those students choosing mathematics as their major.

Our graduate program

offers degrees in mathematics and applied mathematics at both the M.S. and Ph.D. levels. Students can choose traditional areas such as algebra and analysis or newer disciplines such as biomathematics or information assurance. Students completing our program are successful in finding employment.

Our faculty members

are active researchers in their disciplines, developing new mathematical ideas and algorithms, and interacting with people outside their disciplines.
