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.

Prof. Doug Ravenel (Rochester) gave the Third Peter Hilton Memorial Lecture on Thursday, April 10, 2014.
Peter Hilton, 1923-2010, was a member of the Binghamton Mathematics Department from 1982 until his death in November 2010. He was an internationally famous member of the mathematical community. His contributions included a major role in the code-breaking operation at Bletchley Park during World War II, where he worked with Alan Turing, and important research contributions to topology, homological algebra, elementary number theory, combinatorics, and polyhedral geometry, as well as mathematics education at all levels. A collection of memoirs by people who knew Peter has been published in the December 2011 issue of Notices of the American Mathematical Society.
The Department of Mathematical Sciences at Binghamton University is pleased to host the 2015 Zassenhaus Group Theory Conference on the Memorial Day weekend, Friday May 22 to Sunday May 24, 2015. This conference continues the series of Ohio State-Denison Mathematics Conferences first organized in the 1960's by Hans Zassenhaus.
The 7th Annual Binghamton University Graduate Conference in Algebra and Topology was held on October 18-19, 2014. It was again a great success with about 90 registered participants (from many states and two countries) and two excellent key note speakers, Justin Moore (Cornell University) and Danny Calegari (University of Chicago).
This event is organized by our graduate students for graduate students. In addition to the key note talks, there were 26 talks given by graduate students over the weekend.
