Mission of the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics

The mission of the undergraduate program in Mathematics is to provide students with a broad understanding of mathematics encompassing logical reasoning, generalization, abstraction, and formal proof. Courses in the program teach students to create, analyze, and interpret mathematical models and to communicate sound arguments based on mathematical reasoning and careful data analysis. The mathematics degree prepares students for careers in the corporate sector, tech industry, government agencies, and for graduate programs in mathematics.

At Stanford Mathematics, we are dedicated to nurturing a vibrant community of scholars and learners who are passionate about mathematics. We invite all students to explore our programs, engage with faculty, and join us in our pursuit of mathematical excellence.
