The University of Alabama was founded in 1831 with 5 chairs; one of these was the Chair of Mathematics and Astronomy. Thus mathematics has been a central part of the University from its beginning.

The Department of Mathematics offers programs leading to Bachelors, Masters, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.

We offer a variety of tracks leading to the Bachelors degrees. The tracks emphasize such areas as those of pure mathematics, classical applied mathematics, numerical mathematics, optimization, mathematical statistics, and mathematics education.

The Ph.D. degree is offered with areas of research emphasis in Algebra, Analysis, Applied Mathematics, and Topology.
