NDSU Mathematics Department Records (1964-1979)
History
In the "North Dakota Agricultural College Prospectus", June 1891, mathematics
was one of the original courses mentioned that was to be taught at the
college, " The course of instruction shall embrace the English language
and literature, mathematics, military tactics, civil engineering, agricultural
chemistry, animal and vegetable anatomy and physiology, the veterinary
art, entomology, geology, and such other natural sciences as may be prescribed..."
p. 12
In the "First Annual Bulletinue," May 1892, there is listed the Department of Mathematics and Physics. The courses listed for mathematics were: Algebra, Plane and Solid Geometry, and trigonometry (p. 30). As of the 1893-1894 Bulletin, mathematics has split off from physics and was known as the Department of Mathematics and the courses offered were: algebra, geometry, trigonometry, surveying, physics, calculus, analytical geometry, and descriptive geometry (pp. 37-39). In the 1942-1943 Bulletin (Fifty years after the first Bulletin), the Department of Mathematics, a department within the School of Applied Arts and Sciences, had seven faculty, and listed twenty-seven courses, including: plane geometry; higher algebra; slide rule; differential calculus; theory of equations; mathematics of insurance; and history of mathematics (pp.79-80). In the 1970-1972 Bulletin, under mathematics, now in the College of Arts and Sciences, notes that a major in mathematics is in mathematics and mathematics education. (p. 54). As of 1974, mathematics was a department in the College of Science and Mathematics. As of the 1980-1982 Bulletin, the Department of Mathematical Sciences had been created. "The Department of Mathematical Sciences consists of three separate but closely related programs in Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science. We offer minors in all three areas and majors are offered in Computer Science, in Mathematics and in Mathematics Education." (p. 123). One hundred years after the issuing of the First Annual Catalogue, mathematics is listed as a single department with majors in mathematics and mathematics education. (1992/1994 NDSU Bulletin).
The 2002-2004 NDSU Bulletin lists mathematics as an individual department in the College of Science and Mathematics. The Mathematics website (as of 10/02) describes the program: "The Department of Mathematics offers a broad and balanced curriculum of courses taught by a faculty of 16. A student may choose to major in mathematics or mathematics education. Minors in related areas are encouraged. These choices may be made immediately or deferred until the basic course work is completed. In addition to the B.S. degree, the department offers M.S. and Ph.D. programs."
