We are home to 30 faculty, four staff, approximately 60 graduate students, several research visitors, and numerous undergraduate students. We offer exciting and challenging programs leading to BMath, MMath and PhD degrees. We nurture a very active research environment and are intensely devoted to both ground-breaking research and excellent teaching.
On March 1, 2023, Pure Math participated in the first ever "Math Teach-Off" event. The premise of the event was simple: three groups of students would take a quiz on a mathematical concept.
Pure Math Professor David McKinnon has won the University of Waterloo's Award for Excellence in Graduate Supervision!
Congratulations to Pure Math PhD candidate Jacob Campbell, a 2023 recipient of the Faculty of Mathematics Graduate Research Excellence Award. The prestigious recognition comes with a $5,000 cash prize and is conferred annually to two graduate students in the Faculty of Mathematics who have authored or co-authored an outstanding research paper. Jacob shares this honour with recent Computer Science master’s graduate Mahbod Majid.

"On Freimann’s Theorem"
We discuss a proof of Freimann’s Theorem that states :
If A is a set of integers for which there is a set B such that |A|=|B| and |A+B| is at most C|A|, then there are constants d and S such that A is contained in a Generalized Arithmetic Progression of dimension at most d and size at most S|A|.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
