Why Study Math at UMass Lowell?

Mathematics provides tools for explanation and analysis in the physical, engineering, business and social sciences. These tools can help in areas as diverse as planning and evaluating market research, modeling problems in business and finance, developing new educational practices, comparing treatment groups in the biological and social sciences, providing fundamental organizing structure for the physical world and giving satisfaction to those who love mathematics for its own sake.

At UMass Lowell, you can:

    Research into Math Theory Turns Up Unexpected Results for Assistant Professor

    Assistant Professor Daniel Glasscock got a National Science Foundation grant to study Ramsey theory, a branch of mathematics focused on the persistence of patterns. The most surprising results for Glasscock were not in discovering new mathematical principles, but in learning how undergraduate students could be true collaborators in theoretical mathematical research.
