Earlier this year, 91ε’s Office of Indigenous Initiatives celebrated International Pi Day with a talk from mathematician Dr. Edward Doolittle followed by a student panel on Indigenous experiences in STEM and, of course, some delicious pie.
Professor Eyal Goren has received a prestigious Frontiers of Science Awardfor his co-authorship in his landmark publication
Congratulations to ProfessorAxel Hundemer, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, for being awarded the 2024 Leo Yaffe Award for Excellence in Teaching! This award is given each year to recognize a faculty member for superior teachingat the undergraduate level in the Faculty of Science.

The award recognizes excellence in state-of-the-artstatistical work which considers problems of publicinterest and which is potentially useful for formationof Canadian public policy.
The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation announced their 2024 fellows, which includes one faculty member from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, .
Professor Darmon is among 188 scholars to receive fellowships, from a pool of almost 3,000 applicants — “a distinguished and diverse group of culture-creators working across 52 disciplines,” according to the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation press statement.
On a cloudy afternoon this past December, a group of 91ε students gathered in a downtown Montréal boardroom to give a data science presentation to Citera, a sustainability analytics company. This presentation wasn’t for an internship or any other extracurricular activity – it was part of one of 91ε’s newest and most innovative courses:MATH 527, Statistical Data Science Practicum.
Asha Basu and Antoine Labelle were ranked in the top 100 receiving the accolade of Honorable Mention in the , a preeminent mathematics competition for undergraduate students in the United States and Canada.
It is a great pleasure to announce that our colleague Courtney Paquette has been named a
Machine learning relies heavily on probabilistic optimization algorithms.
While machine learning papers are written at a staggering rate, there is much less foundational mathematical work that addresses the success of machine learning.
Since her PhD, Courtney has been at the forefront of this foundational work.
Title: Symmetric Tensor Products: An Operator Theory Approach
Dear Students and Fellow Colleagues,
It gives me great pleasure to announce the Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award winners for the Fall 2023 term.
Congratulations to Gabriel Crudele (MATH 356), Shereen Elaidi (MATH 133), Christopher Karpinski (MATH 235), and Aaron Shalev (MATH 242).
This prestigious award recognizes exceptional performance from TAs in our Department each Fall and Winter term. Winners are selected based on course evaluations received by the Department.
Thank you all very much for your excellent work!
