Mathematics is a rich and diverse field. The department encourages students to get to know one another, to support one another, and to pursue the common goal of a greater understanding of the world around us. The Gonzaga mathematics department hosts numerous activities throughout the year including preparation for the Putnam mathematical competition, activities for undergraduate women in mathematics, and a periodic research level seminar (colloquia). Gonzaga is also a proud member of Pi Mu Epsilon and schedules talks and activities for members of our local chapter, Washington Epsilon.

For the Community
Gonzaga Math Tutoring Outreach
Gonzaga University students, under faculty direction, had been offering free math tutoring services to school children from 1st to 12th grade. However, the program has had to be suspended due to the pandemic. Resources for finding free and low-cost tutoring options can be found at the Gonzaga Math Tutoring Outreach Page
