Mathematics

What is a mathematician?

Mathematicians are problem solvers who work in government, energy, finance, telecommunications, aerospace, education, and medicine. Mines alumni work at the US Department of Agriculture analyzing crop reports, at the Mayo clinic helping with drug trials, and develop the wireless delivery of medical records to doctors and nurses.

Mines students have developed a logistical model to eradicate Ebola at the Mathematical Contest in Modeling and recently placed alongside MIT, Harvard, and Carnegie Mellon University at the annual William Lowell Putnam Mathematics Competition.
