Our Philosophy

The mission of the Quantitative & Symbolic Reasoning Center is to promote retention and equitable outcomes across gender, race, and background in science and mathematics.

We create a safe environment where students can develop and expand the analytic skills they need to be successful in their academic programs and in their lives.

We are a community of scholars built around promoting excellence and empowerment in math and science that leads to social justice.

We believe that:

"Quantitative Literacy empowers people by giving them the tools to think for themselves, to ask intelligent questions of experts, and to confront authority confidently. These are skills required to thrive in the modern world."
