FRG Workshop and Conference on Characters, Liftings, and Types

Worshop, June 19-22
Conference, June 22-24
The workshop aims to help junior researchers in the area to broaden their understanding, particularly of characters, liftings, and types, in both the standard and symmetric-space settings. The conference that follows will present recent results in these areas.

Welcome to the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Here are a few of the many interesting developments in the department:

  • We welcome Dr. Michael Robinson, who joins the Department this fall from the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Robinson has a PhD in Applied Mathematics from Cornell University and studies topological signal processing, among other things.
  • We welcome Dr. Donna Dietz, who joins the Department this fall from the University of Pennsylvania.  Dr. Dietz has a PhD in Mathematics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and has experience teaching mathematics, computer science, scientific computation, and statistics.
  • Enrollments and numbers of undergraduate majors and minors in the department have been steadily increasing. We now offer two new BS degree programs, a BS in Mathematics and Economics and a BS in Computational Science, developed jointly with the Department of Computer Science.
  • This summer we will welcome our forth class of students to our Math for America program. This program, in conjunction with the School of Education, Teaching, and Health and the Carnegie Institution, trains outstanding mathematics graduates from around the country to teach in the DC schools.
  • Two new courses will be added this fall Math 580:Mathematical Finance and Math 360:Tools of Scientific Computing.
  • Our statistical consulting lab begins its forth year of service to AU graduate students and faculty who need statistical help with their research. The lab is presently closed and will reopen in Fall 2012
  • We are presently searching for an Instructor in Mathematics or Statistics; for additional information please see Job Postings

Our website provides information about our degree programs, faculty, news, and events. If you need further information or have a question, please email mathstat@american.edu or call 202-885-3120.
