David McKinnon, chair of the Department of Pure Mathematics, is known throughout the Faculty of Mathematics for his sense of humour and enthusiasm for teaching.
The trip was organized along with colleagues from the Faculty of Mathematics Undergraduate Recruitment team to attend conferences and special events. A highlight of this trip was VanderBurgh’s talk at the International Career and College Counseling (IC3) Conference and Expo, which took place late August in Hyderabad.
One of the greatest pleasures of my role as Associate Dean Operations and Academic of the Faculty of Mathematics is getting to meet with our talented alumni. It is inspiring to hear about their innovative work–how they’re using their mathematical training in highly creative ways to solve big problems.
At the beginning of October,I had the great pleasure to participate in the Wes Graham Symposium. What struck me about the event was that, while celebrating and remembering the ‘father of computing’ at Waterloo, the occasionfelt uniquely forward-looking. Graham Research Fellows shared their groundbreaking work and gave us a glimpse of the future.
Three donors have come forward to be Challenge Champions for the Faculty of Mathematics. If 20 people donate to the fund they are championing, it will unlock their gift.
The Faculty of Mathematics has been a home to bold and visionary creators since day one.
Alumni events are a great way to stay connected to the Faculty of Mathematics and your fellow University of Waterloo alumni.
Alumni on the move and getting noticed, kudos, what's happening in maths, newly named scholarships, and in memoriam.
Robert Madej, CEO of PureFacts Financial Solutions Inc., was a young man with a plan. His dream was to study mathematics and start a business, and he was going to make it happen. But his high school guidance counselor had doubts and encouraged him to become a math teacher or an actuary instead, both lucrative professions with job security. Despite the counselor’s best efforts, there was no changing Madej’s mind.
