Miss One Ball State Day? You can still make an impact.
Mathematical Sciences

The Mathematical Sciences Fund, 05501, is our department's most general fund. It is used to support student and faculty travel, receptions, and other activities that promote the advancement of the Department.

The generosity of supporters is greatly appreciated and helps the department live out its three-fold mission: to provide outstanding learning experiences for students, to engage in worthwhile scholarly activity, and to offer service to various communities.
