Department of Mathematics and Physics

##  Faculty 

Meet the faculty of Manhattan University's Department of Mathematics and Physics, a community of researchers and educators in Riverdale, NY teaching mathematics, physics, and astronomy through B.S. and B.A. programs. Our small class sizes and active research collaborations give students hands-on experience in theoretical and applied work, including projects at laboratories around the globe.
