    Department of Mathematics welcomes new faculty members

    In August, the Department of Mathematics at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign welcomed eight new tenure-stream faculty members representing wide breadth of research topics: Amanda Young, assistant professor, uses analytical tools to investigate the spectral and dynamical properties of quantum lattice systems. Young was a Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow at the Munich...

    The Altgeld Glow Up

    When you’re as old as Altgeld Hall, you deserve a nice cleansing scrub. The stony skin of the building dates to as far back as 1896, after all, and a lot of history, and other gunk, has built up on the stone. Even a U of I student’s thesis from more than 50 years ago notes the coloration change. Muriel Schienman (MA, '69; PhD, '81; art history), in her 1969 master’s thesis, “Altgeld Hall, The...

    Alumni Spotlight: Alexander Dunn helps solve centuries-long mathematical mystery

    Where this story truly begins is difficult to say. It could be somewhere in the early nineteenth century, when mathematician Ernst Eduard Kummer began experimenting with cubic Gauss sums, leading him to record a conjecture that would remain open for more than 150 years. Or perhaps this story...

    Faculty Spotlight: Aldo Manfroi’s Path to Math

    Aldo Manfroi is a senior lecturer in mathematics, and he comes highly rated by his students. But his journey to working within the Department of Mathematics at UIUC wasn’t always so clear cut. “I’ve always liked math, ever since I was a kid,” says Manfroi. “I really liked how rigorous it is and...
