  • Applied Mathematics
  • Departmental Colloquia
  • Discrete Mathematics
  • Hallenbeck Graduate Student Seminar
  • Mathematics Education Seminar
  • Mathematics of Quantum Science
  • Numerical Analysis and PDE
  • Probability and Stochastic Processes
  • Teaching Seminar

Seminars will be held online or in-person on WednesdaysÌýfrom 10:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m​. In-person talks will be held at EWG 336.​

Want to suggest a speaker? Send an email toÌýMahya Ghandehari.​

Upcoming Events

In Spring 2025, the seminar will meet weekly in a hybrid form: online (via Zoom) for most of the external speakers, or in-person in Room 336 Ewing Hall on Mondays 4-5 pm(unless specified otherwise).

If you do not have the 91Ô­´´ NetID, please contact (M. Yvonne Ou​​) for details of Zoom connection.​​

The seminar schedule can be found at

Departmental colloquia are held on Fridays 4:10 - 5pm. Please consult the weekly schedule for more details about talks and speakers.
Contact Prof. Constantin BacutaÌýand/orÌýProf. Petr Plechac for more details.

Upcoming Events


During the fall semester, the seminars will take place usually on Fridays between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. in Ewing 336 and will be also broadcast via Zoom.

People interested in the Zoom information, should contact Novi BongÌýor Sebastian Cioaba.

Upcoming Events

The Hallenbeck Graduate Student Seminar series features introductory level talks by and for the graduate students of the department. We host talks related to our research, internships and summer schools, and hold panels on various topics including prelims and candidacy. Talks last between 30 to 50 minutes. The intended audience is the graduate students, and questions and discussion are encouraged. The series is named in honor of Professor David Hallenbeck. Refreshments may be provided courtesy of the Department of Mathematical Sciences and the David Hallenbeck Memorial Fund.​

Meetings for Fall 2025:Ìý

Weekly on Wednesdays at 2:15 pm from Sept 3 - Dec 10 in Ewing Hall 336

Organizer:ÌýYuan-Chieh Chen and Colby Sherwood

​The Mathematics Education Seminar provides a forum for our faculty in Secondary Mathematics Education to host visitors to discuss research around the teaching and learning of mathematics. The intended audience is mathematics education faculty and graduate students from the Department of Mathematical Sciences and the School of Education. Many topics will also be of interest to mathematicians and mathematics graduate students.

Upcoming Events

Quantum science encompasses a number of interconnected interdisciplinary research areas underpinned by quantum mechanics, and its mathematical foundations utilize disciplines as diverse as probability theory, optimization, operator theory, computational complexity and graph theory. Research in the department includes both the pure mathematical and the computational aspects of quantum computing, in particular, the development of mathematical methods for zero-error quantum information theory, non-local games in quantum information, contextuality and non-locality, analytical and numerical methods for studying open quantum systems, numerical analysis of quantum physical phenomena, and the creation of computational/numerical methods for simulations on quantum computers of high-dimensional problems.

During the Spring 2026 semester, the seminar will take place on Wednesdays 10:30 - 11:30 AM at Ewing 336. If you would like to attend the seminar virtually, please use the Zoom linkÌý

Upcoming Events

The "Teaching Seminar" offers a forum for our faculty, and faculty from visiting institutions to discuss issues related to teaching and learning of college mathematics. It provides a place for best practices to be shared, current issues to be discussed, and a place for faculty to gather input on innovative teaching experiments. Graduate students interested in an academic career are especially encouraged to attend.

For the 91Ô­´´Capture recordings of the previous seminars, see theÌý

A login with the 91Ô­´´ credentials is required to access the first 19 media recordings of the academic years 20-21 and 21-22.
