Where Students Can Grow Exponentiallyπ
UCR Mathematics is one of the few math departments in the country that offers diversity in research, small hands-on classes and the unique opportunity to learn from some of the most prominent mathematicians in the country.
At UC Riverside you will have easy access to the 24 faculty members and approximately 70 graduate students. Ease of access to our faculty and grads means you'll have a connection to their research and teachings in a broad range of specialties, including: algebra, analysis, geometry, topology, mathematical physics and combinatorics. We offer a Masters of Science and a Doctorate of Philosophy. The UCR library has subscriptions to over 100 paper and electronic mathematical journals and is aggressively expanding its large selection of mathematical volumes. Over 100 doctorates have been awarded in the 40 years since the graduate program began.

Our graduate students work hard not only to learn from their professors but to offer new and innovative ideas to the mathematical community. Their final step as graduate students is their dissertations. Dissertations take a great deal of research and development to complete. To help nurture the talents of our graduates, UCR offers fellowships to help remove some of the financial burden and free the grads' time for studies. The Graduate Department Dissertation Fellowships for 2011/2012 have been awarded to a contingent of our graduate students.
Congratulations go out to: Matt Bennett, Nishu Lal, Robert Niemeyer and Mike Sill.
The efforts of our grads also go beyond working on dissertations and completing their degrees. All of our grads work on multiple projects and challenges to help their talents and abilities grow. Two of our graduate students have been awarded Grad Division Fellowships for 2011/2012 so they can focus on their research projects.
Congratulations to: Barbara Herzog and John Quinn.

UCR Math Deptartment's Dr. Michel Lapidus awarded international scholarship.
Dr. Lapidus has been awarded the Anassilaos International Prize 2011, a research prize in Mathematics. The prize is named after the well known Italian geometer Renato Calopso (son of the renown geometer Pasquale Calopso, of Circolo Matematico di Palermo fame). Dr. Lapidus will travel to Italy this upcoming November to accept his award during a four day festivity, under the high patronage of the President of the Republic and of the President of the Italian Parliament and of the Senate of the Republic of Reggio Calabria. An article on his award can be read on the second page of this link.

Young Mathematicians Conference
YMC is an annual conference for undergraduate research in mathematics to which students involved in REUs and similar programs around the country are invited with full support in order to present their research in talks and with posters and interact with peer and senior participants. Invitations to YMC are competitive due to limited space and budget. (Last year we had 180 students applying for 135 projects but could select only about 70 students to present 56 projects). Partial support is also available to accompanying mentors.
