Undergraduate Cryptography

The major goal for this program is to learn about a research problem that can be solved computationally. To do this, students will have to learn enough math to appreciate the relevant research questions, as well as obtain experience with computational aspects. Read more. (UW Mathematics Image)

The Mathematics Department is dedicated to excellence in its undergraduate and graduate programs, and its faculty and lecturers combine a passion for teaching with a deep commitment to research.

The department strives to nurture and prepare its students (both at the undergraduate and graduate level) for successful careers in the mathematical sciences, whether in academic, governmental, or industrial positions. The Math Club, Putnam team, and various research projects provide enriching mathematical experiences for undergraduate students. Weekly seminars in Analysis, Applied and Computational Mathematics, and Algebra, Combinatorics & Number Theory expose graduate students to exciting new developments in mathematics. The department has various awards and scholarships to help support and recognize its students.

Active research areas include algebraic combinatorics; biological and geophysical modeling; complex analysis; computational number theory and cryptography; control theory; mathematical and computational fluid mechanics; non-linear partial differential equations; numerical analysis; and stochastic analysis. Interdisciplinary research is fostered through the Institute for Scientific Computing, and the Interdisciplinary Computational Science undergraduate minor program, both housed in the Mathematics Department. The department’s Colloquium Series, and annual Rocky Mountain Mathematics Consortium Summer School provide graduate students the opportunity to learn from and work with nationally and world-renowned guest lecturers.
