Mathematics at Simpson

The many on-campus opportunities for our majors include: high-quality instruction, undergraduate research, math-related internships, and mathematical competitions.  These experiences give our students a competitive edge in the job market and in graduate school.  Math majors can do anything!

• Simpson offers two majors: Mathematics and Actuarial Science.  The curriculum gives students a mathematical foundation so they can analyze complex systems such as the actions of enzymes on DNA, stock market trends, the effects of invasive insect species and the evolution of human cooperation.
• Every student who studies math at Simpson completes an undergraduate research project or math-related internship.  Other opportunities for undergraduate research in math include our Bryan Summer Research Program, research experiences for undergraduates (REUs) and semester-abroad programs.
• Simpson math students participate in activities beyond the classroom that improve their teamwork, leadership, communication, and time management skills, including mathematical competitions, the Math Club, and tutoring and teaching assistantships.
