Welcome to the Math Department

Welcome to the Pierce College Math Department homepage! Here at Pierce College we believe that everyone has the ability to achieve success in their mathematics courses. Our department is committed to supporting students wherever they are in their math journey. 

Mathematics is an integral part of our technological society. Whether you want to develop critical thinking and reasoning skills, teach math, be a mathematician, or use math in a different field, the Pierce College Math Department offers courses to support your goals. These courses offer a large breadth of knowledge for any student and are taught using modern teaching methods and technologies.

People use math in their careers and everyday lives to analyze data, find patterns, and develop theories. For example, it can be used as a powerful tool to recognize and address areas of inequity in one’s community. Mathematics also assists in the development of critical thinking and reasoning skills that can be used to solve problems in a variety of applications.
