The Mathematics Program of the College of Arts and Sciences at Eastern Oregon University
Mathematics Program and Career Information
- We offer a major in Mathematics (including concentrations in Theoretical Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, or Mathematical Studies).
- We also offer three minors – one in Mathematics, one in Statistical Mathematics, and (for multidisciplinary studies majors only) a minor in Mathematical Studies.
- The American Mathematical Society keeps a page of information about careers available to those with a mathematics degree
Student Activities
- Every winter we hold the annual EOU Mathematics Competition. Congratulations to Hieu Do, Timmy Brown, and Adam Suminski who placed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively in our most recent competition.
- The Spring Symposium is held every year to give students the opportunity to show their scholarly achievements.
- We frequently have teams compete in The Mathematical Contest in Modeling, sponsored by COMAP, the Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications. See COMAP's official site or try Eastern's local COMAP page.
- For the past few years we have had students participate in the Virginia Tech Regional Mathematics Competition. Congratulations to Hieu Do, who was among the top finishers at this year’s competition.
Sites of Interest in Mathematics Education
- The Oregon Council of Teachers of Mathematics is an organization of kindergarten through college teachers. They sponsor workshops, publish journals, and have other information related to teaching in Oregon available.
- There is also a National Council of Teachers of Mathematics dedicated to the teaching of mathematics, elementary through university.
- Math Forum a resource for mathematics education.
- The Center for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching has many interesting project materials together with evaluation results.
