Hausel -- Whitehead Prize for 2008
Prof. Tamas Hausel has just been recognized by receiving a Whitehead Prize for 2008. The citation reads "for his investigations into hyperkähler geometry which have led him to prove deep results in fields as diverse as the representation theory of quivers, mirror symmetry and Yang-Mills instantons."

Rath has been chosen as the AMS Congressional Fellow for 08-09
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) has chosen James Rath as the AMS Congressional Fellow for 2008-09. This Fellowship program is administered by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). It provides a unique public policy learning experience, to demonstrate the value of science-government interaction, and to bring a technical background and external perspective to the decision-making process in Congress.

Emerging Scholars
The Emerging Scholars Program is a nationally known program
for furthering the education of students from
non-traditional backgrounds. Students from high schools with
a weak mathematics program find themselves challenged by the
demands of an honors environment. And, they succeed in
Mathematics as well as in the University.

UTeach
The Mathematics Department participates in UTeach, the
nationally recognized teacher certification program developed and run
cooperatively by the College of Natural Science and College of
Education. UTeach integrates actual classroom experience and
quality education in mathematics and sciences.

Millenium Lectures
In May of 2000, a prize fund of $7 million was announced,
for the solution of seven Milleniuum Problems In
Mathematics. In Spring of 2001 the Math Department at UT Austin offered a
series of seven Millenium lectures. The lectures were open
to the community, and offered the public a
vision of modern mathematics.
