Set SEMO's Department of Mathematics programs will equip you with critical problem-solving skills, a solid mathematical foundation, and prepare you for a dynamic career in various fields.
Our faculty has expertise in actuarial science, algebra, combinatorics, cryptography, differential equations, geometry, graph theory, mathematics education, and topology.
Our majors are actively involved in two student-run organizations, the Math Club and SAME (Student Association for Mathematics Educators). During the fall and spring semesters, the Math Club meets at noon on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, and SAME meets at noon on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. All interested students are welcome!
The Department hosts the MCTM Elementary Mathematics Competition and the Math Field Day contest each spring.

Course Rotations
Do you want to check to make sure your class is offered in the semester that you need it? Or perhaps you want to plan your schedule for the next year or two. Check the course rotation schedule to get an idea of when the courses you need are offered.
Mathematics Placement Information
All students must complete a mathematics course to receive a degree. Our mathematics placement process will help you find the best course for you and your program. Students are initially placed based on the ACT Math subscore or the SAT Math Score.
Competitions
Our mathematics students put their knowledge to the test outside of the classroom. Southeast enters several competitions each semester. They range from individual to team events.
