A publication of the Mathematics Department at the University of Idaho
Letter from the chair Greetings! Welcome to this year’s edition of the Mathematics Department newsletter! There are many exciting things going on in the department, described inside. In faculty news, Stefan Tohaneanu was tenured and promoted – congratulations Stefan! The department now has an international visiting scholar and several postdoctoral scholars. Our students continue to do great things. These include the Math Modeling Team, two undergraduates with Hill undergraduate research fellowships, the Putnam team, and a winner of a national AMS award. The Wellner lecture had its second invited speaker and the Math Club and the Pi Mu Epsilon honorary society are now joined by the Integration League! Our many yearly awards for graduating students and university awards for faculty are covered inside. In these challenging financial times for the university, your support and donations are highly valued, all contributions help us keep our many activities going! One way to keep in touch with developments in the department and with contacts is to join the department LinkedIn group at https://www.linkedin.com/grp/ home?gid=6936949. - Chris Williams
