Calculating Your Future

Galileo once said, “Mathematics is the alphabet with which God has written the universe.”

Taylor can help you define your future as a mathematician whether you are interested in education, government, business, ministry, web design, consulting, computer analysis, engineering, statistics, actuarial services, or any other math-related career. With a fully equipped computer lab, resource room, and lounge, the Euler Science Complex is an excellent environment for students to collaborate, study, and learn.

Pursue your passions while gaining valuable career preparation and exploring the meaningful connections between mathematics and the Christian faith. At Taylor University, our award-winning mathematics faculty are at the heart of the program, ready to mentor, challenge, and support you every step of the way.

Inside and outside the classroom, you’ll be part of a vibrant, Christ-centered learning community that goes beyond academics to foster your intellectual growth, strengthen your faith, and enrich your whole-person experience.

Actuarial Science

Actuarial Science

Summer Research and Work

Meet our Alumni

Mathematics Opportunities

Deepen social connections with fellow Math majors and gain professional experience on an international scale.

Math Competitions and Conferences

Math majors consistently excel in local and national math competitions, such as the MATH Challenge, Indiana Collegiate Mathematics Competition (ICMC), and the William Lowell Putnam Competition.

Participate in the annual Mathematics & Statistics Conference at Miami University (Ohio), IN-MAA conference, and MathFest. Other conferences include the Indiana Council of Teachers of Mathematics conference and the Mathematical Association of America.
Math Club

Create deep, spiritual relationships outside of the classroom. Math Club sponsors department picnics, game nights, holiday parties, and meals.
Work, Research, and Service Opportunities

Mathematics majors are in high demand as tutors and teaching assistants. Work for professors by assisting with in-class group work, explaining complex equations and solutions, holding study sessions, grading papers, and giving lectures. You can also volunteer in local schools to help elementary, middle, and high school students learn and enjoy math.

Conduct research at prestigious institutions around the country and internationally with Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) programs. Other universities include Hong Kong, NASA, West Virginia, Willamette Valley, San Diego State University, Northern Kentucky University, and more.
Study Abroad

Math majors are encouraged to explore mathematics opportunities abroad, such as studying in Oxford Best Semester for Mathematics and Statistics or Budapest Semesters in Mathematics. Math Education majors are able to perform their student teaching internationally in locations such as Spain, Taiwan, Australia, France, Cameroon, and Senegal.

Faculty take their roles as Christian mathematicians and mentors very seriously. Here’s Dr. Jeremy Case talking about what you can expect from your community as a math major at Taylor.

Data Mine Launches at Taylor

Mathematics professor Dr. Amish Mishra recently engaged Taylor University’s Data Science Program in an endeavor created by Purdue University called "Data Mine." Partnering with Purdue on a grant they received from the Don Wood Foundation, the Mathematics Department will help facilitate an independent Data Mine team at TU over the next two years. The first cohort of students has already had The Data Mine experience this academic year and a larger cohort will participate in the effort this fall, working with corporate partners on their business' data analysis needs.

Data Mine runs as a year-long course that students take for an immersive, experiential learning experience. They learn how to work on a team, meet milestones, have deliverables, communicate, and present. This is an exciting venture that provides a distinction for the Data Science program. The Data Mine mission is data science for all.
