Mathematics Department
Math and More
People with a passion for math know it’s more than numbers in a textbook or formulas on a board. At UW-Eau Claire, you’ll find a great learning environment in the Math Department — knowledgeable faculty and staff who put meaningful learning first, both inside the classroom and out. Student-faculty research and stellar internships deepen your knowledge and help you gain practical career skills. Combine all that with supportive faculty, staff, and fellow students, and you’ll feel like the Math Department is a second home.
Majors and Minors in Mathematics
Studying mathematics opens up possibilities for the future you may not have considered. Our core curriculum offers a well-rounded math education — choose from the following majors and minors to fit your specific mathematical passion.
Meet the Faculty
The Department of Mathematics offers two tutoring resources – The Mathematics Tutoring Hub and the Math Lab – to help Blugolds better understand their course material. These labs also provide student employment opportunities with roles available as math tutors.
There’s also a Math Springboard summer program available for first-year students looking for additional mathematics material review and support.
The Mathematics Department hosts a Math Meet and a Sonia Kovalevsky Day (SK Day) each year. The Math Meet is a high school math competition, and SK Day is designed to expose middle school and high school women and non-binary students to opportunities available in math and science. Our faculty stay involved in the local community to help teach the next generation of mathematicians.
Mathematics professors enjoy collaboration and devote lots of time to making mathematical discoveries with Blugolds. Students can then present their work in a professional environment at the annual Spring Math Retreat at the university-wide Celebration of Excellence in Research and Creative Activity (CERCA), and even receive funding to travel to state and national mathematics conferences.
Blugold Stories
The professors in the math department push you to succeed in whatever you are interested in. They encourage you to work one-on-one in independent studies and research projects. These are opportunities that are not available at larger universities.
Analyze data. Develop computer programs. Perfect your coding skills. With a master’s degree in data science, you’ll do all this and more. Our expert faculty will guide you as you learn more than you ever thought possible, alongside peers that offer their own real-world insight.
A collaboration between Hewlett Packard Enterprise and UW-Eau Claire is giving Blugolds the opportunity to use high-performance computing to engage in their data-driven research. Supercomputers can process massive data sets in a short period, allowing students and faculty to dedicate more time on other aspects of their research.
I can’t say enough about the professors at UWEC, especially those that teach the actuarial science courses. It really was invaluable to have teachers who had real life experience in the industry and could bring more to the courses than just the math. They were also the most kind, helpful, and fun group of teachers I’ve ever had!
