Mathematics
At Earlham, our students develop mathematical fundamentals and problem-solving skills that they can apply in a variety of disciplines or in further study of mathematics.
It’s easy for our mathematics students to design and participate in projects that explore connections between math and other interests as a class project, independent study, or as a minor.
