Students can choose to take mathematics mathematics-related courses from the department of mathematics, engineering and other departments, as well as work with professors and students in those departments. For those interested in teacher education and teacher professional development, there are opportunities to develop materials for pre-service and in-service mathematics teachers, and to work in the Stanford Teacher Education Program (mathematics).
