DIRECTOR, COURANT INSTITUTE OF MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES: Professor Greengard
CHAIR OF THE DEPARTMENT: Professor Tschinkel
DIRECTOR OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES: Professor Greenleaf

The undergraduate division of the Department of Mathematics offers a wide variety of courses in both pure and applied mathematics. The faculties are members of the University’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, noted for its advanced training and research programs, which emphasize the applications of mathematics to technology and other branches of science.

Joint programs are available in mathematics and (1) computer science, (2) economics, (3) engineering, (4) secondary school education, and (5) mathematics. They lead to the B.A. degree in four years, with the exception of the engineering option, which leads to the B.S. degree from New York University and the B.E. degree from Stevens Institute of Technology in five years. All this is described in more detail below. Special courses in the mathematical aspects of biology and medicine are also available.

Outstanding students may join an honors program and be admitted to selected courses at the graduate level. All students have access to the institute’s library, which houses a large, up-to-date collection of books and technical journals in mathematics and computer science.
