About Us
The Department of Mathematics of the University of Houston offers an
excellent environment to study mathematics and its applications. We have
approximately 300 undergraduate majors, 80 graduate students, and the
largest instructional mission on campus, with over 70,000 student credit
hours offered each year, including over 10,000 student credit hours in
online courses. Our faculty is internationally recognized for
research achievement and teaching, with excellent groups in Mathematical
Biology, Computational Mathematics, Dynamical Systems and Mathematical
Analysis. We are home to 2 Cullen Chair Professors, 1 M.D. Anderson
Chair Professor, 1 Moore’s Chair Professor and a member of the French
Academy of Sciences. In the 2010 NRC (National Research Council) Ranking
of Mathematics Programs, our Department ranked 61st out of 127
programs, and it received particularly high scores for student
satisfaction. In addition, our faculty members hold a large number of
NSF grants and contracts from the Medical Center and Private Industry,
and we received 3 of the 8 NARP awards given in Texas in 2010. The
Department of Mathematics offers programs leading to the degrees of
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Master of Science in Mathematics (M.S.M.),
the Master of Science in Applied Mathematics (M.S.A.M.), Master of Arts
in Mathematics (M.A.M), Bachelor of Sciences in Mathematics (B.S.) and
Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics. In addition, the Departments of
Mathematics and Biology offer a joint undergraduate degree in
Mathematical Biology. Whether you are a prospective faculty member, postdoctoral fellow,
student, or donor, we hope you find our Department helpful and readily
accessible. Please feel free to contact us for additional information.
The Department of Mathematics publishes the
Houston Journal of Mathematics, and is home to the Center for
Mathematical Biosciences. It is a member of the Texas Center for
Computational and Information Science, and the Gulf Coast Consortium. In
addition, we are home to the Center for Academic Support and Assessment, and we are a strong partner and principle administrative office for the teachHOUSTON program.
