 Historical Note

In 1906, the Mathematics Department at North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts (A&M College, later North Carolina State University) was founded. The department consisted of Robert E. Lee Yates, who became the first department head, and three instructors--Carroll L. Mann, John A. Park, and Michael Richardson.

In 1928, the Mathematics Department moved to the Engineering School. The department remained in the School of Engineering until 1960 when it joined with the Chemistry, Physics, and Experimental Statistics Departments to form the School of Physical Sciences and Applied Mathematics. The school became the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences in 1987.

As of 2008, the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences includes five major programs. These programs include Chemistry; Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Science; Mathematics; Physics; and Statistics.

 Scope and Content Note

The records include correspondence, memoranda, reports, minutes of various departmental committee meetings, curriculum vitae from prospective faculty members, departmental curriculum guidelines, as well as other publications relating to the administration of the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences from 1937 to 1987.
