The Mathematical Sciences Minor provides students with a strong foundation in mathematics, equipping them with essential skills in analytical thinking, problem-solving and quantitative reasoning. This program is ideal for students who wish to complement their major with a rigorous mathematical background, enhancing their preparation for careers in fields that rely on mathematical methods.
The Mathematical Sciences department teaches diverse quantitative skills through its junior/senior level program of 61 semester hours, or through the math minor.
The Mathematical Sciences program is designed to meet the ever-increasing demands for diverse quantitative skills and offers the following opportunities of study:
Helena Soares is a double major in Mathematics and English. She delights on the synergy between these seemingly disparate fields. Her love for both subjects is akin to a poetic equation, where words and numbers dance together, creating a symphony of intellectual curiosity.
Helena is a poet. She weaves verses that transcend the mundane, infusing them with the elegance of mathematical patterns. This is one of her found poems,
"This Fundamental Theorem"

Recently, my colleague, Professor Liang Kong, gave a very interesting talk at the Conference on Security and Information Technologies with AI, Internet Computing and Big-data Applications (SITAIBA 2023
WHAT: The University of Illinois Springfield AI Campus Learning Community and the Center for Faculty Excellence will host an event on artificial intelligence (AI) bias. This event aims to shed light on the issue of bias in AI by adopting an interdisciplinary approach and is free and open to the public. There will also be a complementary buffet lunch.
WHEN: 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., Thursday, March 7
WHERE: UIS Student Union Ballroom
In a forthcoming special journal issue, faculty from the College of Health, Science, and Technology are making waves at the forefront of integrating traditional methods with artificial intelligence in computational science and engineering. Here’s an overview of this groundbreaking work:
Congratulations to Hagen Sanchez, the MAT Marshal in 2023!
It is always great to reconnect with our alumni. Recently, I had an opportunity to catch up with David Watson, one of our math majors who graduated in 2017.
Congratulations to Maria Corpuz, our 2023 Outstanding Student in Mathematics!
Every year a math graduate is selected for this award, recognizing her/his distinctive and outstanding achievement. This year's award goes to Maria Corpuz (Garden Grove, CA). Congratulations!!
The University of Illinois Springfield Assistant Professor of Computer Science Xiang Huang and Associate Professor of Math Science Liang Kong have been awarded a highly competitive grant from the U.S.
