About Our Department

Welcome to the Department of Mathematics at the University of Arizona! Our Department has always embraced a broad view of its mission, which includes leadership in the classical fields of Algebra, Analysis, Applied Mathematics, Geometry, and Probability, as well as cutting-edge interdisciplinary research involving the other Sciences. We emphasize the art of teaching as well as the cultivation of the next generation of Mathematics teachers, and we engage in outreach to our local and State communities. These web pages provide a glimpse of the range of our activities as well as an introduction to the distinguished faculty members, promising students, and supportive staff who make it all happen.

We are proud of our former students and their accomplishments and hope that they will follow our progress through this site. I would be delighted to hear from any of our alumni about their experiences and to share these with the rest of the Department.

To prospective students and colleagues, I invite you to explore the unique opportunities to discover and grow that our Department offers. I think you will find that Arizona provides a congenial environment for building a career in the Mathematical Sciences.
