Mathematics & Computer Science Department
Overview
- Mathematics Major
A deep dive into solving complex problems with clean, elegant solutions.
- Mathematics-Physics Dual Major
For the Mathematics major who takes their fractals with a side of Physics.
- Mathematics Major with Education Minor
For mathematics enthusiasts with an eye toward teaching.
- Computer Science-Mathematics Dual Major
Two birds, one stone. McDaniel provides a clear, efficient path to a double major in Mathematics and Computer Science.
- Computer Science Major
A deep dive into the study of problem solving by way of precise, elegant algorithms.
- Computer Science Major with Education Minor
For students interested in teaching and certification at the secondary level.
- Computer Science Minor
For students who want to supplement their major area of specialization with a strong set of computer skills that might be useful in their major.
- Actuarial Science Major
An interdisciplinary program that will give you the mathematical and economic tools necessary to appropriately quantify and assess risk.
- Applied Mathematics Major
Approach mathematical methods and analyses within the realm of related fields like physics, engineering, computer science, business, and more.
- Applied Mathematics - Data Analysis Specialization

Majors, Minors & Specializations
Spencer Hamblen Department Chair
I have been fascinated by mathematical puzzles for as long as I can remember (How can you cut a bagel into 13 pieces using only 3 cuts)? I supervise McDaniel's teams in various mathematics competitions, and lead trips to regional and national conferences every year to show students the wider world of mathematics.
