Department of Mathematics and Statistics

The study of mathematics and statistics has become increasingly important in fields ranging from bioinformatics and epidemiology, to actuarial science and the analysis of financial markets. Cornell's small size and liberal arts perspective gives our students many avenues for exploration, as well as close mentoring relationships in the classroom and in undergraduate research projects.
