The faculty members of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science are involved in many scholarly activities resulting in refereed journal publications, refereed conference proceedings publications, books published, grant awards, workshops, presentations at conferences or other institutions, and other publications. The faculty are also very interested in working with students on internship, honors and other research projects. Below we list some of the products of the scholarly activities of Department of Mathematics and Computer Science faculty. For more details regarding a particular faculty member's scholarly interests, please see their individual webpage.
