In the Directed Reading Program (DRP) at Columbia University, undergraduate students interested in independently reading mathematics outside of their official coursework are paired with mathematics graduate students for a semester. Applications are open to any undergraduate student from any major at Columbia University and Barnard College. The program matches each undergraduate student with a graduate […]
It is with deep sadness that Columbia Mathematics Department has learned of
the passing of Masatake Kuranishi, who was a member of the Department for
over forty years (more…)
Welcome to the Columbia Undergraduate Mathematical Modeling Workshop (CUMMW) The Columbia Undergraduate Mathematical Modeling Workshop (CUMMW) gives undergraduate students an opportunity to work on real world problems using mathematical modeling. Participants explore data, build and test models, read and learn from existing work, and practice explaining their ideas clearly, either individually or as part of […]
Spring 2025 (click to expand/collapse) MATH GR8675 – Topics in Number Theory Instructor: Dorian Goldfeld Title: Analytic Number Theory Abstract: This course will focus on the spectral theory of cusp forms and Langlands Eisenstein series for the group SL(n,Z) for n > 2. Using trace formula techniques we will obtain applications to classical problems in […]
