The Holy Cross Math Department strives to develop students to be confident and skilled mathematical thinkers. Not only do we focus on developing strong foundational math skills, but also being able to apply mathematical concepts to the real world. In all of our courses, students work to develop their reasoning and analyzing skills, learn to understand and solve a variety of questions, communicate and represent their math in meaningful ways and connect and reflect on real-world issues and personal interests.
