Mathematics

What sets prin apart?

• We train students to approach the understanding of mathematics as a deductive science similar to Christian Science.
• Our 6:1 student-to-faculty ratio allows invaluable access to faculty, and we mentor our students beyond graduation. 
• Our program complements the breadth of knowledge provided by a liberal arts education.
• We prepare students to continue their education in top graduate schools.
• Our program emphasizes transferable skills, including critical thinking, problem solving, deductive (logical) reasoning, and precise, concise, and unambiguous communication.
• We emphasize problem-solving skills, which can be used to benefit mankind.
• Our students have the opportunity to serve as peer tutors for students in introductory or mid-level mathematics courses. This helps reinforce their understanding of foundational material and helps them develop certain teaching skills while providing a valuable service to the community.
• Our seniors research and write a capstone project on a topic of their choice. Our students share research at conferences.
