JHU Mathematics …. A whole new level of perception

Welcome to Johns Hopkins University  !

-         The first University in the United States to have a department of Mathematics in the modern sense, (founded in 1878 by  J. J. Sylvester)

In the Mathematics Department at Johns Hopkins our main goal is for you to broaden your awareness by exploring new ways of thought.

As undergraduates, we encourage you to experience the kind of mathematics that drove many of mathematicians before you. Courses such as number theory, differential geometry, dynamical systems and topology introduce mathematics in its purest form; of rigorous and independent reasoning, of using abstract ideas to solve concrete problems.  We also understand the importance of the various applications of mathematics, requiring our undergraduates to take at least two terms of these applications (for details click on “Major/Minor in Mathematics”) .

We invite you to explore all that our department has to offer, please click on the menu bar for answers to specific questions and contact information.

 Come to JHU to experience a whole new level of perception !
