Although undergraduate research in mathematics at this university has a long history of success, the department has never had a computer laboratory for this purpose. Research students have had to use workstations in faculty offices, graduate students' offices, and secretary offices when the machines were not being used by others. Often, students have to surrender workstations before they are finished with them. The move of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics to a new building in October of 1995 has further reduced the access to workstations previously used by undergraduates, but also provides the department with the opportunity to create a state-of-the-art mathematics computer laboratory for undergraduate research. The new building has been outfitted with a large computer laboratory featuring workstations for computation and visualization, word-processing, electronic literature searches, and Internet access. Both Sun and Silicon Graphics workstations are being implemented, as they both provide unique features that have played an important role in undergraduate research projects.

虽然这所大学的本科生数学研究有着悠久的成功历史，但该系从未有过用于此目的的计算机实验室。研究生不得不在教师办公室、研究生办公室和秘书办公室使用工作站，而其他人则不使用这些机器。通常情况下，学生必须交出工作站之前，他们完成了他们。1995年10月，数学与统计系搬到了一幢新大楼，进一步减少了本科生以前使用的工作站，但也为该系提供了为本科生研究创建一个最先进的数学计算机实验室的机会。新大楼配备了一个大型计算机实验室，设有计算和可视化工作站，文字处理，电子文献搜索和互联网接入。Sun和Silicon Graphics工作站都正在实施，因为它们都提供了在本科生研究项目中发挥重要作用的独特功能。
