About Us

The Department of Mathematical Sciences is the largest department at the U. S. Air Force Academy. Our programs offer a broad yet focused education in problem solving, analytical reasoning, and technical communication skills that will allow cadets to tackle the complex operational, managerial, and technical problems that routinely challenge Air Force officers.

Cadets in our programs historically perform well in areas such as operations research, physics, engineering, business administration, economics, computer science, law, medicine, meteorology, and, of course, mathematics and applied mathematics.
