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 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.

Latest Department News
Alumnus Barry Minemyer awarded AMS-Simons Research Enhancement Grant
Details
Barry Minemyer (PhD 2013), Associate Professor at Commonwealth University, was awarded a 2025 AMS-Simons Research Enhancement Grant for Primarily Undergraduate Institution Faculty. Minemyer completed his dissertation “Isometric Embeddings of Polyhedra” under the supervision of Pedro Ontaneda.
About the grant, Minemyer writes: “As a faculty member at a Primarily Undergraduate Institution (PUI) with a high teaching load, it is difficult to stay on top of current research breakthroughs. There is no weekly seminar, and it is difficult to find the time amongst my teaching schedule to read the most recent publications. This AMS-Simons Research Enhancement Grant for PUI faculty will allow me to take research trips that I otherwise would not have had funding for. This funding will aid in me attending conferences, giving talks, discussing mathematical ideas with other researchers, and staying up-to-date on the current research being conducted in my field.”
Minemyer will present at the Binghamton Geometry/Topology Seminar on February 5, 2026.
Lorenzo Ruffoni paper accepted in the Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society
Details
Lorenzo Ruffoni (with Sami Douba, Gye-Seon Lee, and Ludovic Marquis) has had the paper “Convex cocompact groups in real hyperbolic spaces with limit set a Pontryagin sphere” accepted for publication in the Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society.
A preprint is available here: arXiv:2502.09470.
