Department of Mathematical Sciences



Welcome to the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Georgia Southern University, the largest university in Southeast Georgia. The department conducts teaching, scholarship, and service in many areas of Mathematics, Statistics, and Mathematics Education. Our faculty members pursue research in a wide range of areas, including Algebra, Analysis, Approximation Theory, Biomathematics, Differential and Difference Equations, Education, Geometry, Imaging, Numerical Analysis, Number Theory, Optimization, Statistics, Topology, etc. 

The Math Department offers two undergraduate degrees, the B.S. with a major in Mathematics and the B.S. in Mathematics, and we offer the M.S. degree with concentrations in Mathematics and Statistics. Majors in Mathematics and Statistics learn analytical and computational skills that prepare them for Graduate studies and help them succeed in many careers, including Actuarial Science, Engineering, Computer Programming, Operations Research, and many others.
