A mathematics major or minor will provide students with many job opportunities in fields besides teaching, such as actuarial sciences, energy fields, computer programming, economics, banking, law, computer analysis, and many more. Most job settings require workers to be problem solvers. A mathematics major or minor, when paired with another area of study, enhances job placement in almost any area. Mathematics graduates at SWOSU have been successful in finding jobs in a wide variety of career fields and in pursuing graduate degrees in mathematics and/or computer science and other related fields. The Mathematics Department promotes the appropriate use of technology in the teaching and learning of mathematics. A networked PC lab with various mathematical and statistical software packages is located within the department. Several mathematics majors and minors work in our tutor lab to provide students with any extra math help they might need. Opportunities also exist for employment as homework graders. Southwestern Oklahoma State University has an active chapter of the Mathematics Honor Society, Kappa Mu Epsilon (KME),
whose main objective is to further student interest in mathematics and to familiarize the members with advances being made in this subject. Many students in the Mathematics Department have been active in joining KME and in attending regional and national meetings organized by the society and by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA). The department also supports an active Math Club. Regular meetings are held. Typical activities include problem sessions, faculty talks and math-themed games. The Mathematics Department partners with the Education Department to train Mathematics Education majors to become highly qualified mathematics teachers at the junior and senior high school levels.
