BA/BS in Mathematics

The mathematics program at Kenyon joins abstract ideas and proof-based methods with the modeling of real situations and the statistical analysis of data. Faculty are active in newer areas such as mathematical biology and involve students directly in research. The department houses both mathematics and statistics, so students can move between pure topics and applied data work. Courses range from an exploration of infinity and its surprising consequences to regression, analysis of variance and logistic regression applied to real-world questions. Math and science students share a common building, and the department organizes informal events such as a weekly gathering for activities, talks and conversation. Prospective students can use the department page to view featured courses and meet faculty. The program suits those who want theoretical depth, those drawn to applied modeling, and those who plan to continue into graduate study or data-oriented careers.
