We'll be able to monitor you as you work your way through the program, encourage you to participate in extra activities if we think you're not living up to your potential, give you extra help if we see that you're struggling in a particular class, and even write a personal letter of recommendation when you're ready to apply for jobs!

From pre-calculus to differential equations, and linear algebra to topology and complex variables, Lakeland offers a full range of Mathematics classes that will fit into the career path you choose.
