Resources

A number of special resources enrich students’ experiences studying mathematics at Richmond.

Women in Math & Computer Science
Female students in math and computer science find support and learn about careers in computing via membership in a faculty-mentored group called Women in Math & Computer Science. The group hosts weekly meetings and invites guest speakers to talk about their experiences working in the fields.

Technology
The department maintains networks of Linux and Windows workstations, with numerous machines available for student use. The department also houses a 4-processor Symmetric-Multiprocessing server.

These computers support the use of Mathematica, which is used to solve problems and also to explore stimulating questions. The University also provides access to various software programs supporting the department’s statistics courses.

Online Calculators
The Calculators Online Center, run through the Martindale Center, offers students over 23,000 different calculators, used to compute everything from air travel to steam engine design.

Discipline-Specific Library Research Guide
Subject librarians at the University of Richmond Libraries maintain discipline-specific research guides for every academic course of study offered through the School of Arts & Sciences. Students conducting research in the field of math can contact the subject librarian directly, view top recommended resources, conduct discipline-specific databases and Web sites. In addition, subject librarians frequently highlight new titles related to the academic field.
