Academics and Admissions
Mathematics is more than crunching numbers. Mathematics involves quantity, space, shape, change, and structure. Mathematics can be applied to many fields including natural and social sciences, or it can be explored purely for its own sake.
Whether you want to explore advanced mathematics, examine statistical models, prepare for actuarial exams, or develop your knowledge and skills for teaching mathematics, the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Ball State is the place for you.
