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.

A Conference in Honor of Ross Geoghegan's 70th Birthday
A conference in honor of Ross Geoghegan's 70th birthday will be held in Columbus, Ohio, June 16th-20th, 2014. The conference, hosted by the Ohio State University, is titled “Topological Methods in Group Theory.”
The conference will honor the numerous mathematical contributions of Ross Geoghegan. Ross was one of the first mathematicians to use topological techniques to study groups. His textbook “Topological methods in group theory” is one of the standard references in the area.
Ross Geoghegan, Bartle Professor of Mathematics at Binghamton Univeristy, has been with the department since 1972.
The 2015 Peter Hilton Memorial Lecture
Prof. Ralf Spatzier from University of Michigan will give the annual Peter Hilton Memorial Lecture on Thursday, April 23, 2015. The lecture will be given in Science 2, Room 140 at 3:00 pm. It will be followed by a reception at 4:30 pm, in The President's Reception Room, Anderson Performing Center, Binghamton University. This reception is for the whole Binghamton Mathematics Community as well as for our visitors. A flyer of the event can be downloaded. The abstract of the lecture talk can be found at this webpage.
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 Hilton Memorial Lecture - 2014
Prof. Doug Ravenel (Rochester) gave the Third Peter Hilton Memorial Lecture on Thursday, April 10, 2014.

2015 Zassenhaus Conference
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.
BUGCAT 2014
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.
