COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES Department of Mathematics and Statistics

Computer Services

The department uses technology in classroom instruction, as well as faculty research. Three computing labs are available to students and faculty. These labs support both Linux and Windows operating systems running mathematical software such as Maple, Matlab, Minitab, Splus, and LaTeX, as well as other computing packages. Students may access mathematical software at any time by using an interactive website maintained exclusively for math courses. Centralized departmental information is maintained in a database for easy administrative access and elimination of redundancy.
