Calculus at Binghamton Check out the Problem of the Week.

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics (DOMS) is a vibrant community where mathematicians and statisticians converge to explore, innovate, and educate. We offer a comprehensive range of academic programs, spanning the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels. Thus, besides our faculty and postdoctoral visitors, our community includes a large and valuable cadre of hard-working and talented undergraduate and graduate students.

At the undergraduate level, we have two kinds of degrees: general degrees for majors in Mathematical Sciences are labeled Bachelor of Arts (BA), while our more intensive undergraduate degrees are labeled Bachelor of Science (BS). There are both mathematics tracks and actuarial science tracks within both degrees. For the BA degree, there is also a track in Statistics. A minor in mathematics is also possible.

At the graduate level, we have the PhD in Mathematical Sciences, Master of Arts (MA) in Mathematics, and MS in Data Science & Statistics degrees. The latter includes a 4+1 program in which students can earn a BA or BS in Mathematical Sciences alongside a master's degree within five years.

While our highest degree is a PhD in Mathematical Sciences, a significant number of our doctoral dissertations are written on research topics in Statistics.

All faculty members and postdoctoral visitors are active researchers. The main areas of concentration in the department are: Algebra, Analysis, Combinatorics, Geometry/Topology and Statistics. Additionally, there is active research that falls between and bridges the main areas. See the Research Areas page for more specific research topics.

Adrian Vasiu received Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities

Adrian Vasiu, Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, has received the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities. He was honored at the Excellence Awards Dinner on October 22, 2015 with a medal, a plaque and a check. Vice President for Research Bahgat Sammakia introduced Adrian at this event with the following words.

Known for bringing the highest level of scholarship and innovation to his profession, Adrian Vasiu is an international leader in arithmetic algebraic geometry, also called number theory, whose breakthroughs have helped define the discipline. Continuing high-level research with a focus on a long-standing conjecture of the Italian geometer C. Traverso, and with international collaborators, he proved that Traverso’s estimate is not correct in general and then proved the correct substitute, with their results published in the prestigious Annals of Mathematics.

The methods he developed to solve this conjecture are far reaching. It is an honor to award Adrian Vasiu the Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities.

Ross Geoghegan is elected a Foreign Member of the Macedonian Academy of Sciences

Ross Geoghegan, Research Professor of Mathematics and Department Chair-Designate, has been elected a Foreign Member of the Macedonian Academy of Sciences. He will give his inaugural lecture in Skopje some time in the Spring 2016 semester. This recognizes a long association between the Binghamton Department of Mathematical Sciences and Macedonia initiated by Professor Geoghegan. Seven of Binghamton's PhDs in mathematics have come from Macedonia.
