The Office of the Dean Records from the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences at North Carolina State University contain correspondence, brochures, budget information, curricula material, memoranda, news clippings, publications, photographs, and project files documenting the academic and administrative activities of the College. Materials range in date from 1928 to 2014.
The College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (PAMS) at North Carolina State University was established in 1960 as the School of Physical Science and Applied Mathematics. The name of the school was changed to the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences in 1977, and replaced "School" with "College" in 1987. The college currently had five major academic programs: Chemistry; Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Science; Mathematics; Physics; and Statistics. Instruction in some of these academic areas, such as chemistry and mathematics, dated back to the earliest years of the university. In 2013 the College of Physical and Mathematical was superceded by the College of Sciences.

During its history the college had five major academic programs: Chemistry; Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Science; Mathematics; Physics; and Statistics. Also, at various times, the Department of Computer Science (later located within the College of Engineering) and the Department of Biochemistry (later known as the Department of Molecular and Structural Biochemistry and located within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences) were also components of the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. Instruction in some of these academic areas, such as chemistry and mathematics, dates back to the earliest years of the university.

This series is comprised of web sites of NC State University’s Department of Mathematics, captured by the NC State University Libraries since July 2016 using the Internet Archive’s Archive-It web archiving service, with prior captures by the Internet Archive dating back to March 2000, which may be less complete and was performed at undetermined intervals.
This was formerly the official website of North Carolina State University’s Department of Mathematics. The NC State University Libraries scheduled this website to be captured quarterly beginning in July 2016. Also included here are prior captures by the Internet Archive dating back to March 2000. Since July 2017, this URL has redirected to https://math.sciences.ncsu.edu/, which is also represented in this collection guide.
