Mathematics is the language of the universe. It is the study of patterns in shape, time, distance
and space through careful reasoning and rigorous deductions. Modern applications
include Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), encryption
for secure commerce on the internet, and algorithms for speech recognition.
The Experience
Our program offers small classes taught by full-time professors who are committed
to their professions and committed to the development of each student's full potential
in a friendly environment. Every student is assigned a faculty adviser who will assist
in designing an individualized program of study.
Do Math; Do Anything.
Men and women trained in mathematics are employed in a wide variety of fields where
data analysis and logical thought processes are critical. Undergraduate training in
mathematics trains students to organize their thought processes and hone their critical
thinking skills. Graduates of our program are employed at NASA, Microsoft, Steel Dynamics,
bioenergy companies, and logistics companies. A number of our graduates have gone
on to graduate school at Notre Dame, Central Michigan, and Indiana University.
Caleb Aukeman, a Trine University mechanical engineering and mathematics major from Winona Lake, Indiana, recently conducted a presentation at an online game theory conference showing how a modified version of Jenga will always be won by the second player.
More than 40 Trine University faculty participated at the 28th annual Fort Wayne Teaching and Learning Conference, with four presenting sessions and Jeremy Rentz, Ph.D., Schantz Distinguished Professor in the Allen School of Engineering and Computing, serving as plenary speaker.
