Why study Math at CCC
Mathematics describes almost everything we create, use, or seek to understand in nature from computers to architecture to microbiology and engineering. Majoring in mathematics could provide you a mathematical skill set that is transferable to a wide range of careers. A strong mathematics background allows students to pursue studies in fields such as mathematics education, engineering, information technology, statistical analysis, physical science, financial analysis, and advanced mathematics.
Our Philosophy
“One cannot understand... the universality of laws of nature, the relationship of things, without an understanding of mathematics. There is no other way to do it.” - Richard P. Feynman The Clovis Community College Mathematics Department has created a philosophy to guide us in the process of developing vibrant curriculum, implementing best teaching and learning practices, and providing students with effective instruction and an engaging learning environment.
We realize our students come from various backgrounds and experiences, so we have combined top-notch teaching and relatively small class sizes to provide students ample opportunities to actively engage in the classroom. This student-centered learning environment helps personalize and enhance students’ understanding of mathematics. We also believe the classroom environment should prepare students for the future workforce; therefore, we incorporate technology and relevant applications into the mathematics curriculum so students can see mathematics in real-life uses.
Ultimately, our goal is to nurture students' minds and foster their critical thinking toward an understanding of mathematics.
