Adelphi’s faculty are committed to providing a personalized educational experience to each student.
Nobel laureate William G. Kaelin Jr., MD, credits his mother, who majored in math at Adelphi, for her love and support. To shine a light on this “hidden figure” and ensure her memory and legacy will continue, he has created the Nancy (Horn) Kaelin ’54 Prize in Mathematics to be presented annually to the University’s top graduating math student.
The minor in mathematics is designed to give students a solid foundation in math as well as some experience in the discipline at an advanced level.
This minor provides both the theoretical and applied foundation for students interested in a career in either statistics and/or data analytics.
This minor uses advanced computing capabilities to understand and solve complex problems and is a rapidly growing branch of applied computer science and mathematics.
In our mathematics programs, you can pursue an original research project, working closely with your professor. You can study and investigate an original problem, develop a formula, create a mathematical model, scrutinize patterns or analyze data—it’s up to you.
Monica Morales-Hernandez, assistant teaching professor of mathematics, draws on her experiences as both a woman and a Latina to teach her Adelphi students that they, too, can excel in math.
It all started in 2021—the (STEM)2 Network, funded by a $500,000 award from the National Science Foundation, set out to support faculty in transforming undergraduate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education from within.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Undergraduate Education has awarded Adelphi University and Principal Investigator Andrea Ward, PhD, associate provost for research and special projects, a $2.49 million grant for the “Ensuring STEM Student Success Through an Integrative Support Program.”
