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.

The 7th Annual Binghamton University Graduate Conference in Algebra and Topology is to be held at Binghamton University, October 18-19, 2014. There will be talks throughout the day Saturday and also Sunday morning. Lunch will be provided on Saturday and there will be a banquet, at a cost of $15, Saturday evening.
This years featured keynotes are Justin Moore from Cornell University and Danny Calegari from the University of Chicago.
Deadline for registration is October 11, 2014 and abstracts for talks should be also submitted by October 11, 2014. Registration can be done through the conference website.
Travel assistance is available with priority given to those giving talks.

On October 7, 2014, the Department of Mathematical Sciences celebrated the 80th birthday of Prof. Luise-Charlotte Kappe, as shown in these pictures.
These pictures were photographed by Prof. Alex Feingold.
On October 16, 2014, the Department of Mathematical Sciences celebrated the retirement of Prof. Shelly Zacks. Speeches in honor of Shelly's long and productive career were made by Prof. Anton Schick, Chairman of the DOMS, Harvey Stenger, President of Binghamton University, and Prof. Nitis Mukhopadhyay (University of Connecticut-Storrs), colleague and co-author of Prof. Zacks. Pictures from the party are posted here.
