Highlights
5th Lecture of the Richard E. Block Distinguished Lecture in Mathematics Series
This year the Block Distinguished Lecturer will be M. Susan Montgomery, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Southern California. The lecture will take place May 25th in Skye Hall 284 at 4:00 p.m. Dr. Montgomery's lecture will be "Orthogonal representations: from groups to Hopd algebras to tensor categories". The Block Lecture Series is chaired by Dr. Vyjayanthi Chari of the UCR Mathematics Department.

RISE Rooms at UCR
UC Riverside looks to improve remote learning
Spectrum News featured Math Department teaching in RISE rooms. Professor Estela Gavosto shares her experience using the RISE technology to teach concurrently in the classroom and Zoom.
Alumni: Lawrence Mouillé
Congratulations to our 2020 Alum Lawrence Mouillé, who was awarded a 2022 NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship to work at Syracuse University with Lee Kennard. Lawrence's thesis, titled Positive Intermediate Ricci Curvature with Symmetries, is available here.
COMAP
Looking to put your knowledge of mathematics to the test on an international level by solving real world modeling problems? Then consider participating in this year's COMAP (Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications) (https://www.comap.com/undergraduate/contests/index.html) on February 17-21, 2022. COMAP is an international mathematical modeling competition that’s completely online, teamwork based (up to 3 students per group) and open to all college students.
For more information please click here, or contact Jennifer Rangel Ambriz orAustin Hansen.
John Baez Named Fellow of AMS
The math department proudly announces that John Baez has been named a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, for contributions to higher category theory and mathematical physics, and for popularization of these subjects.

UCR Mathematics in Curriculum Innovation
The Department of Mathematics at UCR is funded by the Grand Challenge of California Learning Lab for over $1.2 million to develop a new mathematics gateway. The project’s aim is to re-conceptualize how calculus is taught and to open a wide and inclusive STEM gateway. The materials developed under this project will be shared as Open Educational Resources to benefit all students and educators. Over ten faculty members from three different higher education institutes participate in developing this project. Project PI is Dr. Yat Sun Poon (UCR Mathematics), Project Director and co-PI is Dr. David Weisbart (UCR Mathematics). For more information, please visit its website: https://cllmath.ucr.edu
Microtutorials
The Microtutorials in Mathematics project team at UCR has conceived a new approach to producing a collection of micro-tutorials as supplementary instructional and learning materials. The intent is to assist the students and instructors to connect calculus with applications in various subject matters. The students could use them freely on any topics of their choice. The videos are produced with follow-up questions to enable instructors to flip their classrooms if desired. For details, please visit its website: https://microtutorials.ucr.edu
Math Alliance: Providing educational success to underrepresented and first-generation students is an important part of UCR's mission.
"Our goal is simple: we want to be sure that every underrepresented or underserved American student with the talent and the ambition has the opportunity to earn a doctoral degree in a mathematical or statistical science."
If you are interested in becoming a Math Alliance Scholar, please feel free to contact Dr. Fred Wilhelm. The benefits include access to Math Alliances Facilitated Graduate Applications Process and possible funding to go the the Alliance's Field of Dreams conference.
