Department of Mathematics

On behalf of our faculty, staff, and students, welcome to Department of Mathematics at CSU San Bernardino. We are excited about your interest in our programs and our campus.

Faculty.  We have a strong and diverse faculty who are dedicated to teaching and promoting excellence through activities such as mentoring and student research.

Community.  Our CSUSB mathematical community is known for being warm, welcoming, and supportive.   Our classes are relatively small, especially at the upper division level.  This helps promote great interaction between students and instructors and helps develop a strong sense of community.  

Most of our students are the first in their families to go to college. More than half of our students are members of minority groups, and one quarter are from groups traditionally underrepresented in the sciences. CSUSB is nationally recognized as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and we are one of the top mathematics departments in graduating Hispanic students.

We encourage you to be an active participant in our community by attending colloquia, joining the Math Club, coming to Tea Time, and stopping by our Math Gym.

Degrees.  The Department of Mathematics is one of nine departments within the College of Natural Sciences. We offer four bachelor's degrees, a Master's degree, a minor in mathematics and a minor in statistics, as well as a Certificate in Introductory Actuarial Mathematics and a Subject Matter Authorization.

The undergraduate degrees can prepare you for a quantitative reasoning related job in the public or private sector, a career in teaching, or an advanced degree. The Master of Arts degree is intended for those wishing to pursue a career in teaching at the community college level or who wish to go on to study for a Ph. D. in mathematics or a related field. The Master of Arts in Teaching Mathematics is geared toward those who wish to become leaders and specialists in mathematics in the secondary school systems.

Announcements

  • Congratulations to our Spring 2021 Dean's List students, who have been have been recognized for earning at least at 3.5 GPA on at least 12 graded units of coursework.  We are very proud of our students and their accomplishments.  
     
  • F2022 Math 5510 CSUSB To PhD Bridge: Research in Mathematics

    This topics course aims to support upper-level undergraduate and graduate students interested in pursuing further study in mathematics.

    We plan to present and discuss information about mathematics graduate school and the tools to succeed, with an emphasis on PhD-level work/programs. Tentative course activities include, but are not limited to, an in-depth investigation of mathematics content, locating resources, designing and delivering presentations, and leveraging peer support in the process.

    Instructor consent is required to enroll in the course. Fill out this form to contact the instructor – expect a short in-person meeting. For questions, contact Youngsu Kim at youngsu.kim@csusb.edu.

Upcoming Events

  • 1st Annual CSUSB Math & Stats Career Fair and Summit - September 2021.  More info coming soon!

Mission Statement

The Department of Mathematics has a mission to provide all mathematics students with an understanding of the logical structure and style of mathematics appropriate to their discipline and level. We will provide mathematics majors and graduate students with the background necessary to pursue a meaningful career in mathematics, mathematics teaching, or related fields. Our graduate program will provide additional opportunity for advanced studies in an individualized discipline-centered master's. The program will help students develop quantitative and abstract reasoning and the ability use of mathematics as a computational and analytical tool. We will provide students in General Education mathematics courses with substantive skills in quantitative and abstract reasoning and in the use of mathematics as a computational and analytical tool.
