Wofford’s mathematics department emphasizes student understanding of mathematical proof, concepts and applications and computing. Majors can choose to study a mix of applied and theoretical mathematics, or pursue a concentration in either pure or applied mathematics. Extracurricular activities include math club, math teas and a tutoring program for local elementary students.
