A vibrant hub for research, teaching and entrepreneurship
From its inception, the Faculty of Mathematics has been a pioneer in the technologies that have shaped the world. We trained generations of young people to code (Watcom), created the security standards that protect our data (Elliptical Curve Cryptography and Certicom), and transformed the world of information management and internet search engines (the Oxford Dictionary Project and OpenText).
Now, the Faculty of Mathematics is leveraging our unmatched technological expertise to unlock the insights in our data and solve society's biggest challenges. No other institution is better positioned for this formidable task. As North America’s only dedicated Faculty of Mathematics, we are unique in bringing together the three disciplines crucial to data science: computer science, statistics and mathematics.
Mathematics 4 (M4) makes this new era possible.
