Welcome to the Home Page of the Mathematics Department at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls!

At River Falls mathematics is viewed as both the foundation for the sciences and a significant field of knowledge in its own right. Our mathematics instruction is dedicated to nurturing and developing students creative mathematical talents as problem-solvers.

The River Falls Mathematics faculty has diverse backgrounds and research interests, including combinatorics, differential equations, mathematics education , mathematical engineering, numerical analysis, probability, and statistics. Two courses which are unique to the River Falls Mathematics Program are Honors Calculus and Senior Seminar. Honors Calculus is a one hour course, taken in tandem with the normal calculus courses, in which first year students have fun exploring calculus in more breadth and depth. Senior Seminar is an opportunity for students in their final year to work closely with a faculty member on a mathematical project.

The Mathematics Department is arranged so that many faculty have study spaces directly outside their offices providing an environment of easy accessibility to professors. The department supports a Math Study Room where students work and informally interact with one another, and a Math Help Center which is staffed with upper level students who can provide help and insights to students studying mathematics in their first two years.
