Department of Mathematics

Solve problems. Discover order. Study the language of creation.

At Union, mathematics is studied with the conviction that the order, logic, and precision of the discipline reflect the mind of the God who created it — preparing graduates who think analytically, solve creatively, and carry that foundation into virtually any field they enter.
