Mathematics and Computing at Lyndon
Our department prepares students for careers as actuaries, business managers, computer scientists, educators, engineers, meteorologists, programmers, systems analysts, and business owners. Our academically rigorous curriculum ensures that each of our students graduate with both theoretical and applied knowledge of their field. This is accomplished, in part, by the technology which is integrated throughout the curriculum.
We may regard Mathematics as a traditional discipline, but the Mathematics program at Lyndon has been in the forefront in responding to academic changes, particularly with regard to technology. The relatively new and rapidly changing Computing Program is similarly responsive to change and growth.
Graphing calculators and computer software are employed to help introduce ideas and as aids in understanding the subject matter. These tools enable students to learn independently—a real asset in the real world. The department also provides quality services to other academic departments at Lyndon.
The job placement rate of Lyndon’s mathematics department is over 91 percent.
Computing
Lyndon’s Computer Science program gives students a solid understanding of the technological infrastructure that drives the modern world. Within the core programming curriculum, students learn C, C++, Java, and programming for the Web. Lyndon students benefit from computer classrooms that give each of them a workstation on their desk.
Through the information technology component of the curriculum, students learn how computer systems are designed and networked, as well as the latest in Web technology. Our goal is to produce graduates who are critical thinkers and competent problem-solvers.
Experiential learning is a cornerstone of the Lyndon educational experience. Our students work as tutors, in paid internships at local businesses including Garnet Hill and Numia technologies, engage in student teaching, and create presentations of student work for conferences.
Mathematics
Lyndon’s Mathematics program combines traditional mathematical approaches with the latest computer technology, keeping the instruction fresh and relevant. The students prepare for a wide range of positions in fields such as teaching, engineering, finance, insurance, investments, and social services. Small class sizes mean a highly individualized, educational experience. Lyndon students become part of a tight-knit community of talented and engaged learners.
Computers and graphing calculators transform theoretical principles into visual learning and teaching tools. There is also an opportunity for qualified students to work in the department as peer mathematics tutors.

Teaching candidates in the Secondary Education program work toward a Pure Math degree in order to ensure they have a deep and thorough understanding of their content area.
Life After Lyndon
We’ve had students go on to graduate work at every state university in New England as well as the University of Tennessee and the University of California, Santa Cruz.
