WHY CHOOSE US?

• "I love the size of the upper-level courses I have taken—they are large enough to foster good discussion but not so large that I feel like the professor doesn’t have a chance to interact with me.  I also was interested in exploring the research options available to me here at UTA.” —Kayla Robb, UTA Math Major
• The department is a major center for mathematics research and education in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex and North Texas.
• It features nationally recognized faculty with outstanding accomplishments in teaching, research, and service, such as fellows of the UT System Academy of Distinguished Teachers, members of the UTA Academy of Distinguished Teachers, and UT System Regent’s Outstanding Teaching Award winners. Most mathematics faculty members’ research is supported by the National Science Foundation, National Security Agency, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Department of Education, Department of Defense, National Institutes of Health, and Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
• The American Mathematical Society named The University of Texas at Arlington the winner of its 2013 AMS Award for an Exemplary Program or Achievement in a Mathematics Department.
