The Department of Mathematics at Trinity is committed to providing a superior education in mathematics within the context of a liberal arts college. The quality and scope of the curriculum in mathematics at Trinity are comparable to those available to undergraduates at larger colleges and universities, and faculty are dedicated to providing the individual attention necessary to ensure that each student, regardless of major, has ample opportunities for intellectual growth. In particular, students who major in mathematics can avail themselves of a wide range of regularly offered courses and can also take advantage of department members’ willingness to supervise independent studies and tutorials in various areas of mutual interest.
