Department of Mathematics : University of Dayton, Ohio

Language of the Universe

Mathematics is the study of shape and form, of numbers and patterns, of concrete examples and abstract generalizations. As a discipline, mathematics is not easy to categorize: it's an art, a science and a philosophy; it's pure and applied.

Although mathematics has engaged human thought for millennia, it is still today a vibrant and growing area of human endeavor with new and important discoveries.

At the University of Dayton, mathematics majors gain a firm foundation in the concepts and skills of mathematics, and acquire an appreciation for the beauty and power of the subject.
