Math equations

Learn at a mathematical powerhouse. We offer strong and flexible programs at all degree levels.

Students majoring in mathematics take courses in the logical foundations of mathematics, the calculus sequence, matrix algebra, and discrete mathematics. Majors choose from a concentration of applied, traditional, or actuarial mathematics. Both the BA and the BS in mathematics allow entry to advanced studies or career opportunities as diverse as the fields to which mathematics is applied. The metro region of Washington, D.C. provides a particularly fertile area for related job opportunities, including consulting, teaching, and government.

Mason offers a vibrant graduate mathematics program that awards MS and PhD degrees. The program provides exciting opportunities for students interested in studying advanced mathematics and conducting independent research. Students can specialize in a diverse selection of areas in pure, applied and computational mathematics.

Students use well-developed mathematical skills across multiple fields.

Mathematics Colloquium: Genetic drift and its mathematical models: computation, analysis and applications

Mar 22, 2024, 3:30 - 4:30 PM

Speaker: Qi Wang, George Mason University Title : Genetic drift and its mathematical models: computation, analysis and applications Abstract : Genetic drift describes random fluctuations in the number of gene variants (alleles) over time. Mathematical models of genetic drift, such as Wright-Fisher, use discrete stochastic processes to model the dynamics

Geometry MMA Seminar: Bi-Lipschitz arcs in metric spaces

Mar 29, 2024, 1:30 - 2:30 PM

Speaker: Scott Zimmerman, Ohio State University Title: Bi-Lipschitz arcs in metric spaces Abstract: A bi-Lipschitz arc in a metric space $X$ is the image of an interval in the real line under a bi-Lipschitz map. A natural question is as follows: when is a subset of a metric space contained
