Visitor Information
The Department of Mathematics at Cornell University is known throughout
the world for its distinguished faculty
and stimulating mathematical
atmosphere. Close to 40 tenured and tenure-track faculty represent
a broad spectrum of current mathematical
research, with a lively group of postdoctoral fellows and frequent
research and teaching visitors. The graduate
program includes over 70 graduate students from many different
countries. The undergraduate
program
includes several math major programs, and the department offers a wide
selection of courses for
all types of users of mathematics.
A private endowed university and the federal land-grant institution
of New York State, Cornell is a member of the Ivy League and a partner
of the State University of New York. There are approximately 19,500
students at Cornell's Ithaca campus enrolled in seven undergraduate
units and four graduate and professional units. Nearly 14,000 of those
students are undergraduates, and most of those take at least one math
course during their time at Cornell.
The Mathematics Department is part of the College
of Arts and Sciences, a community of 6,000 students and faculty
in 50 departments and programs, encompassing the humanities, sciences,
mathematics, fine arts, and social sciences. We are located in Malott
Hall, in the center of the Cornell campus, atop a hill between two
spectacular gorges that run down to Cayuga Lake in the beautiful
Finger Lakes region of New York State.
