"Years of thinking, dreaming and planning have resulted in a state of the art science facility for teaching and undergraduate research."
The Division of Mathematics and Computer Information Sciences now occupies most of the first floor in Ott Hall of Sciences and Nursing.
Faculty offices are located in an office suite immediately adjacent to our classrooms and laboratories. To encourage student/faculty interaction, the suite was designed with generous collaboration space directly outside the faculty offices.
All classrooms are equipped with interactive data projectors. All furniture is movable, easily allowing for group work or other forms of instruction. Though most students prefer to use their own laptops, two classrooms are equipped with University laptops for classes involving computer applications.
The CIS Lab supports cross-platform class projects involving various tablet/phone technologies and 3-D printing, while the Modeling Lab allows for the capture and study of realistic data for projects in applied mathematics and statistics courses. The CIS Department operates a server providing a Linux platform and supporting various course projects. The building has robust open wireless access.
In addition to the study space available in the faculty office suite, there are study tables and private study rooms in the building atrium area. Students are also welcome to study in classrooms when they are not in use. The atrium also has a small kitchenette and vending machines. Lockers are available in the building near the classrooms if students wish to store books between classes.
