On April 17 and 18, students, faculty, and members of the community gathered to take part in the inaugural Research Discovery Days, a research showcase and networking event hosted by the Math Innovation Office. The event, which featured both faculty and graduate student research presentations as well as discussions about entrepreneurship, aimed to connect industry partners with researchers doing exciting work in the Faculty of Mathematics.

Principal investigators Professor Edith Law at the Cheriton School of Computer Science and Professor Hélène Sauzéon at Université de Bordeaux have been funded to create an Associate Team at Inria, France’s National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology. 

The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) announced close to $51 million in funding today for projects that will strengthen Canada’s quantum research and innovation capacity in alignment with the National Quantum Strategy.

CS professor Craig S. Kaplan has helped prove the existence of an einstein (from the German for "one stone") - a 13-sided shape dubbed "the hat" that can tile a plane infinitely without ever repeating.

On Friday, March 31, the University of Waterloo Faculty of Mathematics proudly unveiled two spaces in the new Math Advancement Hub: the Ronald C. Mullin Boardroom, named in honour of the University’s first alum and a former professor in the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization, and the Pat Cunningham Corner, named in honour of the Faculty of Mathematics first alumni officer.

Mathematician Alfré Rényi famously said that “a mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems.” Waterloo biostatistics professor Michael Wallace, however, is a machine for turning coffee into prizes.

Researchers in biology and medicine have collected an unprecedented amount of data from a variety of sources. My research builds upon the benefits of extracting information from such big data sources by building a so-called automatic hypothesis-generation machine, where the input is the big data people have collected

It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to a true visionary and leader, Ronald (Ron) Garth Dunkley, long time faculty member in the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo, the founding director of the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC), and the co-creator of the Canadian Mathematics Competition.

David McKinnon, chair of the Department of Pure Mathematics, is one of three recipients of the Award of Excellence in Graduate Supervision, an annual distinction bestowed by Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs in collaboration with the Graduate Student Association. Since joining the Faculty of Ma

PhD candidate Ludwig Wilhelm Wall and two recent Waterloo graduates have built an interactive installation at the intersection of art and technology called The Light Within.
