Department of Mathematics

For over 150 years, the department of mathematics at the University of Toronto has provided one of the very best mathematics programs for undergraduates in North America and been the main training ground for Canadian mathematicians. With 43 faculty members, it is the strongest mathematics department in Canada, and it ranks among the best 15 departments in North America. Two generous donors have provided the department with endowed chairs: the Ted Mossman Chair in Mathematics and the Norman Stuart Robertson Chair in Applied Mathematics.

One measure of the stature of the department is the quality of our graduates. They gain admittance to the best graduate programs in the world, attain academic positions in Canada and beyond and are sought after by computer, financial, telecommunications and other technological industries, reflecting the importance of mathematics to advanced careers in a knowledge-based economy.
