For more than 2,000 years, mathematics has been a part of the human search for understanding. Today, mathematics as a mode of thought and expression is more valuable than ever before. Learning to think in mathematical terms is an essential part of becoming a liberally educated person.

This is an exciting time to be studying math at Kenyon. We're working in new facilities, initiating innovative programs, expanding our expertise in mathematical biology, and continuing to provide research opportunities for students. Other features of math at Kenyon: teaching is our top priority; class sizes are very small (typically 10 to 15); faculty members are engaged in their fields—and it shows in the classroom.
