Student Perspective
"In the math-stats department, I got to practice the applied skills and study the beautiful theoretical underpinnings of what I do now in industry. There are so many ways to grow through collaboration, make connections, and deep-dive with individual research."

Andrew Sage | Open Office
Lawrence students visit the office of Andrew Sage, Associate Professor of Statistics, and connect on interests in and out of the classroom.
Probability
An introduction to probability and its applications. Topics will include combinatorial and axiomatic probability, conditional probability and Bayes' Theorem, random variables, expectation and variance, discrete and continuous probability distributions, joint and conditional distributions, and limit laws.
Mathematical fluency + Cultural fluency = A great pairing
Grab your passport and spend a term or more abroad, in programs such as the Lawrence University London Centre or the Budapest Semester in Mathematics.
Outcomes
From actuarial science to z-intercepts, the foundations of a mathematics education at Lawrence allow you to approach careers and advanced study from any angle of your choosing.
Branching Paths
Where will your mathematics journey take you? Students and faculty work closely together across different branches of the field providing opportunities to combine your mathematics studies with work in computer science or statistics and data science.
