Staff
The Mathematics Department is fortunate to have a very cordial and very competent staff to support its faculty and student population.

Teaching
The Mathematics Department is dedicated to providing a high quality mathematics education for both majors and non majors alike.  To this end, The Department has designed a variety of courses to meet the needs and desires of today's UofL students.

Research
The Mathematics Department maintains a strong research program in both basic and applied mathematics.  Faculty research interests are broad.  The Department also hosts occasional research seminars, workshops, and conferences that attract mathematical experts from around the world.

Undergraduate Degree Programs
The Department of Mathematics offers two undergraduate degree programs as well as minors.

Graduate Degrees
The Department offers a Master of Arts in Mathematics and a Ph.D. degree in Applied and Industrial Mathematics. This new Ph.D. program prepares mathematicians with a blend of advanced mathematical and statistical knowledge, together with experience applying that knowledge.

Seminars and Colloquia
Weekly seminars in many areas of mathematics are offered during the semester. The Department also sponsors a colloquium series featuring visitors as well as local faculty. In addition, the Department hosts a small number of special talks directed at a general audience, featuring internationally known experts from mathematics, economics, finance and related fields. 
 
Equipment
The Department has three computer laboratories. Two large labs, equipped with Macintosh computers, are used in many introductory courses. The smaller advanced computer lab, equipped with state of the art PC and Macintosh computers, is used for upper level courses.
