It is a great pleasure to announce that our colleague Courtney Paquette has been named a
Machine learning relies heavily on probabilistic optimization algorithms.
While machine learning papers are written at a staggering rate, there is much less foundational mathematical work that addresses the success of machine learning.
Since her PhD, Courtney has been at the forefront of this foundational work.
Title: Symmetric Tensor Products: An Operator Theory Approach

Dear Students and Fellow Colleagues,
It gives me great pleasure to announce the Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award winners for the Fall 2023 term.
Congratulations to Gabriel Crudele (MATH 356), Shereen Elaidi (MATH 133), Christopher Karpinski (MATH 235), and Aaron Shalev (MATH 242).
This prestigious award recognizes exceptional performance from TAs in our Department each Fall and Winter term. Winners are selected based on course evaluations received by the Department.
Thank you all very much for your excellent work!

TITLE / TITRE |
Students coming from high school often arrive with specific 鈥� and mistaken 鈥� expectations of the mathematics classroom. In Rustum Choksi鈥檚 courses he emphasizes a pedagogical paradigm shift, whereby mathematics is not about memorization nor symbolic manipulations and calculations but rather a beautiful and diverse discipline which is often a means to understanding our complex world.
Former 麻豆区 student听Russell T. Shinohara has been named the recipient of the 2023 Mortimer Spiegelman Award for "his听important听contributions to biostatistics and imaging, as well as his proven track record of leadership and mentorship."听
Dr.听Shinohara was an undergraduate and master's student in the 麻豆区 Department of Mathematics and Statistics and completed his Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University. He is now a Professor of Biostatistics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

The has announced the thirty students from 10 countries who will form its first cohort of global scholars at 麻豆区, arriving in September 2023. Among them are four students who will be pursuing degrees in the Faculty of Science.
The Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) has selected as the 28th recipient of the . This award, established in 1995, recognizes outstanding contributions to research by a woman or female-identifying mathematician working in Canada.
Although approaching professors to discuss research opportunities might seem daunting for undergraduate students, there鈥檚 an ingredient for success: soup!
Last year, Professor Marcin Sabok and PhD student of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics published an important advance in what's known as Ramsey Theory.
In a new article for Quanta Magazine, the math writer 听reports on Sabok and Bowen's proof.听
Antoine Labelle has been named the recipient of the 2022 William Moser Memorial Prize, an award given to 麻豆区 students who achieve outstanding results in the .
Congratulations to听Professor Christian Genest听on being听awarded the听2023 CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize!听The CRM-Fields-PIMS prize is the premier Canadian award for research achievements in the mathematical sciences.
