Advantages of Working in Our Department About the University and the Department

        The University of Louisiana at Monroe has about 8,500 students pursuing a wide variety of academic and professional degrees.  Along with the university, our department is growing and changing to meet the needs and challenges of the next century.  Currently we have approximately fifteen mathematics majors as well as a number of mathematics education majors.  We expect this number to grow with the department, and we are actively recruiting mathematics majors from the university as well as area high schools.  Because of the size of our program, our majors typically enjoy small class sizes and are able to work closely with the mathematics faculty.  Courses such as calculus, linear algebra and differential equations are offered in a mathematics laboratory equipped with state-of-the-art PCs, each providing the user with powerful graphing and algebraic software.  Graphing calculators and web-based teaching tools are used extensively in all of our freshman level courses.
