Welcome. There are many interesting developments in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and we are hopeful that even bigger developments are just around the corner.

  • Most recently, we just added three new tenure-track faculty members: Tuncay Alparslan, Anna Amirdjanova, and Inga Maslova.
  • Enrollments and numbers of undergraduate majors and minors in the department have been steadily increasing. As of March, we have 43 undergraduate majors in math and statistics.
  • This summer we welcome our first class of students to our Math for America program. This is the first DC-area chapter of the prestigious program that recruits and trains top-notch high school math teachers.  
  • In fall 2011, we will be moving to AU's main quad in the building currently occupied by the School of International Service.

We hope our website provides you of the information you are looking for. If not, send us an email or give us a call at 202-885-3120. Finally, if you like mathematical humor, we encourage you to look at The Discrete Observer and tell us what you think!
