Longwood's Mathematics department incorporates the studies of quantitative relationships expressed in numbers and symbols, focusing on mathematical concepts, theories, practical application in relation to the world in which we live. Mathematics is divided into two specific areas: pure mathematics such as theoretical and abstract, and applied such as the more practical and visible problem solving. Mathematics has been around since man was able to count the number fingers on his hands. Without Mathematics, life would, in many ways, cease to exist. Mathematics provides explanations to the world's simplest to most complex problems. Longwood offers an extensive Mathematics program, preparing the next generation of mathematicians who will lead the way in math education, business, and even technology.
