Abstract:

Brochures, announcements, newsletters, and reports relating to the operations of the Department of Mathematics.

Mathematics courses have been taught at NCSU since classes were first held in 1889. J. H. Kinealy was the first professor of mathematics and practical mechanics. In 1906, Robert E. L. Yates began the first head of the Department of Mathematics. In 1960, the department became one of the first departments of the School of Physical and Applied Mathematics (now College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences).
