They honestly want every student that they teach to do well in all of their courses and they are always around to lend a helping hand if you need it. They also take the time to know their students through numerous outside of the classroom activities such as the annual math picnic. I cannot even count the number of times that I have come into the math department offices and had a professor ask me about my day, or how my family was doing. The faculty members at UMW have a wide range of mathematical interests which means you can easily find an area of math that you are passionate about. During my time at UMW I was encouraged to explore my passions through research projects and independent study opportunities. The bottom line is that whatever your goals in math are you will find a professor that is more than willing to help you accomplish them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geoffrey Driskell Year Graduated: 2011 First Job: Naval Surface Warfare Center \u2013 Dahlgren Division Favorite Course:Chaotic Dynamical Systems with Dr. Sumner and Financial Mathematics with Dr. Sumner.
