We are an active and growing department. Our faculty has doubled in size during recent years, and includes experts in important new directions for pure and applied mathematics. We have many long-term visitors from institutes and universities worldwide. Each year our department is home to about 10 postdoctoral fellows. Our energetic and dynamic department hosts numerous influential research seminars and conferences. As our reputation continues to grow in the national and international mathematics communities, our graduates are ideally positioned for exciting careers in research, technology, and education.
