Mathematics
Department Chair: Prof. Alec Ingraham
To prosper in today’s society, our students must handle
quantitative information intelligently. Most employers consider
a familiarity with mathematical techniques a valuable
asset. As a consequence, the mathematics faculty:
• tailors its curriculum to suit the needs of the students
and the major areas of study at Southern New
Hampshire University.
• offers all mathematics courses designated by the various
cores.
• provides electives for individuals wishing to emphasize
mathematics in their educations and also for
those intending to enroll in graduate courses that
require quantitative sophistication.
The faculty also provides an accelerated mathematics
sequence for day undergraduates with an interest and ability
in mathematics.
