Inside UT Math

Recognition of Faculty and Graduate Students
The Department of Mathematics is pleased to announce the recipients of the Frank Gerth III Teaching Excellence Awards and the Department of Mathematics Outstanding Teaching Awards for 2007-2008. Heather Van Ligten and Diane Radin are the recipients of Department of Mathematics Outstanding Teaching Award. Herivelto Borges Filho, Kris Clabes, Eric Staron, Brandy Guntel and Pippa Charters are the recipients of Frank Gerth III Teaching Excellence Award. Allison Bishop, Jin Hyuk Choi Yuan Yao and Kyudong Choi are the recipients of Frank Gerth III Graduate Excellence Award. Ricado Alonso, Magda Czubak, Alex Kahle, Mark Luxton and Andrea Young are the recipients of Frank Gerth III Dissertation Awards.

Mathematics New Faculty
The Department of Mathematics would like to welcome all of our new faculty and students. Thirteen new faculty members, Jane Arledge, Clayton Bjorland, Gerard Brunick, Chi Han Chan, Thomas Chen, David Fithian, John Hammond, Florent Jouve, Hector Lomeli, Brett Milburn, Hossein Namazi, Kui Ren and Stephanie Somersille have joined the department this fall.

UTeach
The Mathematics Department participates in UTeach, the nationally recognized teacher certification program developed and run cooperatively by the College of Natural Science and College of Education. UTeach integrates actual classroom experience and quality education in mathematics and sciences.

Community Outreach
About every fourth Saturday, high school students from across the state meet to get down with Mathematics. The Saturday Morning Math Group was begun by Mathematics Professor Karen Uhlenbeck and Dan Freed in fall 1993, and is now a popular outreach program bringing extra-curricular education to students across the state.


Millenium Lectures
In May of 2000, a prize fund of $7 million was announced, for the solution of seven Milleniuum Problems In Mathematics. In Spring of 2001 the Math Department at UT Austin offered a series of seven Millenium lectures. The lectures were open to the community, and offered the public a vision of modern mathematics.
