When you have an unseasonably warm October day in North Central Massachusetts, you don't let it go to waste, which is likely why Mathematics Professor Nermin Bayazit recently held her Informal Math Modeling class outside on the Alumni Plaza. The course covers relations, patterns and functions using multiple representations and focusing on the manner in which these concepts connect to mathematical ideas specified in the Massachusetts Mathematics Curriculum Frameworks.

Mathematics Professor Kenneth Takvorian works with students enrolled in our Summer Bridge Program in Edgerly Hall. Learn mare about our Summer Bridge Program, and hear from Joshua Cronin a current Communications Media major student on his experience in the Summer Bridge Program and how it helped him realize his dream of going to college here.

This morning, Fitchburg State University Mathematics Department  hosted its 43rd Elizabeth Haskins Mathematics Contest, welcoming 170 students from nine regional high schools.
