Mathematics
Providing the foundation of progress, through the science that helps describe everything.
World-Class Math Leadership
At the heart of the sciences and technologies that drive our modern world is mathematics, a universal language that can lead to better understanding of everything. Our faculty are among the world’s most well known mathematicians, including multiple winners of the Abel Prize—math’s equivalent of the Nobel. (Both the first woman and first person of Latin American descent to win the Abel are from UT Austin.) Science and technology leaders trained here go on to tackle complex and nonlinear problems with mathematical and computational skills that lead to innovations.
I love that there’s a place for everyone here at UT Austin. Whether you like coding all night, movies, or playing ball at Gregory Gym, you’re bound to find someone who shares those interests.”
