MISSION
The
primary mission of the Mathematics Department at Kennedy-King College is to
prepare students for advanced study in the discipline of mathematics, and in
related areas that make use of mathematical sciences. Mathematics is a
multifaceted subject that demands accuracy and rigor in the quest for knowledge
both abstract and concrete. The department performs different roles in
fulfilling its mission and at the heart of it is our dedicated faculty fulfilling
their roles of excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service.

Why Study Math at KKC?
We are growing! The Department of Mathematics currently offers a
wide range of courses expressly designed to strengthen student skills in a
number of formats and times including online, day, and evening classes. Today,
we are working on new and innovative ways to increase student learning and
student success, and professionally develop our students who are on the path to
the baccalaureate. Mathematics courses contribute to many of the transfer
requirements in multiple programs at Kennedy-King related to Science,
Technology and Engineering. Personalizing
your Associate of Science degree with a variety of mathematics courses and
electives can only strengthen your analytic and problem-solving skills, and
understanding of complex mathematical concepts. Students who have a solid
understanding of the fundamentals of higher-level mathematics are routinely
sought out by employers because of their skills – to think logically, to
problem-solve, and to understand technical information.
