At Cornell, math classes meet for three to four hours a day, but this does not mean three to four hour lectures. Professors use the extended class time for group projects and collaborative problem solving, allowing you to develop teamwork, communication, and presentation skills to supplement your mastery of mathematics and statistics concepts.

For example, you might work with a team to find the optimal arrangement of housing designs in an apartment complex or serve as expert witnesses in assessing the safety of a local skate park. And in Data Analytics, which is team-taught by professors of statistics and computer science, you can learn sophisticated ways to analyze and visualize "big data."
