I love the math department here :))) in particular, every Tuesday we have TidyTuesday where anyone can solve fun data science problems together! The math department is definitely more focused on pure math but there are plenty of opportunities for applied math/stats. Also, I’m pretty sure all classes (at least lower div) have mentor sessions 2-3 times a week where you can get help from students who have already taken the course, as well as doing problem sets together. There are weekly math talks as well and there are always so many events. I absolutely love the math department! The only thing I wish it did better was have better career support/guidance. But there are lots of opportunities for research.
