The Department of Mathematics and Statistics is located in Burnside Hall on McGill's downtown campus in Montréal (Québec). The Department boasts an impressive faculty of leading researchers in a diverse range of fields including Algebra, Algebraic Geometry, Analysis, Applied Mathematics, Category Theory, Combinatorics, Differential Geometry, Differential Equations, Discrete Mathematics, Mathematical Physics, Number Theory, Probability, and Statistics.
To respond to the differing needs of our students, a full range of undergraduate programs and courses are offered through the faculties of Arts, Science, and Management. Masters and Doctoral programs in Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Statistics are available to students wishing to pursue graduate studies.
To support our students and staff, the Department offers a state-of-the-art computer network available for research and educational purposes. The Edward Rosenthall Mathematics and Statistics Library, conveniently located in Burnside Hall, responds to the more conventional research needs of department members. The Department's Statistical Consulting Service provides statistical advice to faculty and students both from within the Department and throughout the University.
Announcements
January 10, 2013
Daniel Wise of McGill mathematics and statistics department awarded The 2013 AMS Oswald Veblen Prize in Geometry.
The Veblen Prize is given every three years for an outstanding publication in geometry or topology that has appeared in the preceding six years. The prize will be awarded on Thursday, January 10, 2013, at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Diego.
The full citation for this prize and additional information can be found in the Joint Mathematics Meetings Prize Booklet, at http://www.ams.org/profession/prizebooklet-2013.pdf. Find out more about AMS prizes at http://www.ams.org/prizes-awards/prizes.
Schulich Donation
Seymour Schulich has recently made a generous donation of $5 million dollars to McGill of which $1.25 million will go to the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. The money is being used to provide fellowships for graduate students exclusively and is to be spent down over roughly ten years. These fellowships will enable us to continue to attract truly top class students in the mathematical sciences.
