Student comments

"I had a great time at UWEC. The professors gave a lot of individual attention, and were very generous with their time. I found the mathematical education that I received to be wonderfully engaging, and an excellent preparation for the rest of my academic career."

Amanda Potts, Ph.D. candidate, Department of Mathematics, Northwestern University

"My coursework and undergraduate research experience at UW-Eau Claire were excellent preparation for graduate school in mathematics. I was awarded a prestigious fellowship from the University of Iowa largely because of the valuable experience I gained by working with several enthusiastic professors at UW-Eau Claire."

Holly Hauschild, postdoctoral fellow, University of California-San Diego

"The classroom and research experience I received at UW-Eau Claire using Computer Algebra Systems and other Computational Programming Languages has been invaluable in my work here at Mayo."

Jason Vinar, Data Analyst, Mayo Clinic

"I transferred to UW-Eau Claire from a private college because of the greater variety of courses and programs to choose from. I still have small classes and one-on-one contact with my professors, and I'm getting paid do mathematics research with faculty members."

Nick Saeger, Senior Mathematics Major, Computational Science Minor

"The best thing about Eau Claire in general is it is small, yet high quality. You can get an Ivy League education if you want it.

I have worked in Electronics Research and Development and Electronics Manufacturing. My mathematics background gives me an edge over Chemical Engineering graduates of UW-Madison because no real progress is ever made on solving modern technical problems without mathematics. I can think of three projects from the past year that I was the only engineer with enough mathematics to comprehend."
