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 32nd Ohio State-Denison Mathematics Conference was held from Friday, May 9 through Sunday, May 11, 2014 at The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio. It had sessions on Group Theory and Ring Theory. The conference was initiated by Professor Hans Zassenhaus in the early 60s and has a long tradition.
The Group Theory Session was dedicated to Professor Luise-Charlotte Kappe (Binghamton University).
Fernando Guzman and Joseph Brennan were among the session organizers. Professor Emerita Luise-Charlotte Kappe has been with the department since 1968.
The Binghamton University Graduate Conference in Algebra and Topology took place on November 9, 2013. Our keynote speaker was Benson Farb from the University of Chicago. Click here for more information about this annual conference.
The department will move to a newly renovated building - the Old Whitney Hall. Demolition and asbestos abatement are complete and construction work is advancing on several fronts. Wall framing and dry wall are well underway along with runs for mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.
The project entails constructing two classrooms in former lounge areas. Old dorm rooms will be converted into office space, testing labs and support space for the math department.
Work also involves code and energy updates, new windows and a new roof. Work will be complete in August 2014.
