After two millennia of discovery, mathematics remains a vibrant, dynamic,
and exciting discipline, with remarkable new developments occurring on
many fronts.
Mathematics provides the language, conceptual framework, and analytical
techniques for the investigation
of fundamental questions from the concrete to the abstract.
Modern mathematics is a vast field, and surprising
connections often emerge between the different branches, stimulating
major advances.
The interface between mathematics and the physical sciences is likewise
a significant source
of mathematical and scientific challenge.
The graduate program at UCSB offers students a broad foundation in
mathematics while
allowing the flexibility to explore interdisciplinary research.
The permanent faculty (currently 33) are strongly committed to the
training of our
graduate students who, as they develop into independent researchers,
make a vital contribution to the research environment within
our department and campus.
With about 65 students in the Ph.D. program, there is ample opportunity
for close interaction between faculty and students.
As teaching assistants, our graduate students gain teaching
experience in a wide variety of contexts.
The department supports a diverse graduate student population, and we
welcome students from all economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds
to apply
for admission and financial support.
Please take a moment to check out the research activities
within our department arranged by field below.
Of particular note are two programs; one is the Emphasis in Computational Science,
a joint program with departments in the College of Engineering http://www.cse.ucsb.edu. Another is the opportunity to work on quantum
computing with Microsoft's Station Q.
If you have any questions about our program,
