Mathematics

Mathematics is important in the life of every individual. Mathematics is central for providing experiences to ensure that students gain "proficiency in analytical reasoning and computational skills" necessary for survival in a "technological society" as well as understanding connections between mathematics and other disciplines. The Mathematics faculty has contact with every Fisk student, whether in the mission of general education, teacher education, or the mathematical education of majors and joint majors. Course offerings are academically challenging, but mathematics faculty operate under a shared belief that all students can learn mathematics. Clearly, mathematics has special responsibility for support to other disciplines, such as those in the natural or social sciences and business administration, as well as to students who select mathematics as a single or joint major.
