“The faculty in the math department are some of the most amazing people I’ve come in contact with. You can tell that they definitely are passionate in what they do; most importantly, it has inspired my own career path that I hope to go down one day. The math curriculum here at Charlotte requires a great deal of prerequisites before moving into the upper-level math courses, but I feel more than prepared. Also, the resources here at Charlotte are unparalleled. If you need assistance with anything, I guarantee there’s campus resource for it.”
