The Quantitative & Symbolic Reasoning Center offers peer tutoring in courses that include a mathematics/quantitative component. Students may drop in to review topics as needed or to use the resources of the computer and video library. Other programs offered by the center include a review for the mathematics portion of Graduate Record Exam and workshops designed to accompany specific courses. Tutors at the center are top students who have been recommended by the departments for which they tutor. They have taken the courses they tutor and have been trained in tutoring techniques and interpersonal relations.
A far cry from the stereotype of numbers-crunching drudgery, mathematics is a highly creative discipline that balances logic and intuition, analysis and imagination. Mathematics majors at Hamilton make connections across many fields and subjects, applying the sophisticated tools of math to a spectrum of topics. The sheer range of mathematical applications is suggested by the subjects of a few recent student papers: cheating at cards, population growth, traffic flow, employment discrimination, air traffic control and sexuality.
Practicality aside, the majority of Hamilton students who take mathematics do so because they find it interesting in its own right rather than because they need it to achieve some other goal. About 35 to 40 students major in math each year, and the group is divided equally among men and women.
Mathematics is a highly practical discipline, valuable in other courses and professions. Employers in financial, digital and other technical fields put math skills at or near the top of their list of qualities they look for in newcomers. Such majors as economics, computer science, psychology and the hard sciences require math skills as well, making mathematics an appealing minor or double major.
Hamilton graduates in mathematics go on to careers in banking and finance, communication, education, insurance, government and, of course, computer systems and programming. Others enter graduate programs in medicine, law, business, mathematics, applied mathematics statistics, computer science, economics and engineering.
