Department of Mathematics and Statistics
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 offer two degree options in Mathematical Sciences: the Bachelor of Arts (BA) (more flexible) and the Bachelor of Science (BS) (more intensive).
Within each degree, students can choose one of three tracks: Mathematics, Data Science & Statistics (DSS), or Actuarial Science. We also offer a Mathematics minor.
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 in data science and statistics 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 Data Science and Statistics.
All faculty members and postdoctoral visitors are active researchers. The main areas of concentration in the department are: Algebra, Analysis, Combinatorics, Data Science and Statistics and Geometry/Topology. Additionally, there is active research that falls between and bridges the main areas. See the Research Areas page for more specific research topics.

The 2019 Peter Hilton Memorial Lecture
Shmuel Weinberger, University of Chicago will give the annual Peter Hilton Memorial Lecture for 2019. The lecture will be given on Thursday April 4, 2019 at 3:00 p.m. in Lecture Hall 9. Prof. Weinberger is the Andrew MacLeish Professor of Mathematics at University of Chicago. For more see: https://math.uchicago.edu/~shmuel/
The lecture will be followed by a reception at 4:30 p.m. in The President's Reception Room, Anderson Performing Arts Center, Binghamton University. This reception is for the whole Binghamton Mathematics Community as well as for our visitors.
Peter Hilton Memorial Lecture is an annual event in memory of Peter Hilton, 1923-2010, 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.
Peter gave a talk to the department about his wartime codebreaking. You can watch it here.

Passing of Prof. Tom Head
With sadness we announce the passing on Nov. 10, 2017 of our colleague Tom Head. Tom received his PhD at the University of Kansas in 1962. His earlier work was in algebra. His textbook “Modules; a primer of structure theorems” was published in 1974. But Tom's most notable work was concerned with interactions between molecular biology and formal language theory. It was in this field that about half of his 86 research papers were written. In 2002 he received the annually given Yellow Tulip Award for his early contribution to DNA computing. In 2004 he was presented with the festschrift volume of papers: “Aspects of Biomolecular Computing.” Tom joined our department in 1988 and retired in 2005. He was a delightful colleague and he will be missed.
