BA/BS in Mathematics

The Mathematics program at Carleton shares its department with Statistics. Students can major in Mathematics or Statistics, add a Mathematics minor, or pursue the newer Statistics and Data Science minor. Faculty include mathematicians, statisticians, and visiting instructors, which allows the department to offer a broad selection of courses each term. Mathematics courses range from Galois theory and real analysis to computational mathematics and differential geometry. Regular seminars explore topics such as the mathematics of climate, cryptography, and analytic number theory. Statistics courses include introductory data science, inference, probability, and electives in time series and Bayesian methods. Students can also join the colloquium series, take part in problem solving and mathematical modeling, and do summer research. Some majors study in Budapest through a semester program in mathematics.
