The essence of mathematics is not to make simple things complicated, but to make complicated things simple - Stan Gudder

Mission

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Coastal Carolina University seeks to help our students find the mathematician and statistician in themselves. Believing that every student has the capability to develop sharp critical-thinking skills and statistical literacy, our faculty’s priority is facilitating the growth of these skills through collaborative learning. This includes mentoring, undergraduate research, and preparation for career development and graduate programs. The department seeks to address any structural inequalities in mathematics and statistics education by developing and supporting a diverse group of learners.

We accomplish these goals by improving student access to faculty and materials. Our teaching-focused faculty promote engaged learning by applying activity and inquiry-based methods as well as model applications. The department uses internal data as well as best practices supported by the national mathematical and statistical communities to identify needed structural changes in courses (and programs) to improve student success and access across the curriculum.

Core Values

Commitment: We are committed to quality instruction, engaged learning, and helping students along their desired pathway.
