Math Research Center

The Mathematics Research Center was established in 2011 with support from the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences at University of Pittsburgh. The MRC operates within the Department of Mathematics and its research activities encompass a broad range of areas, including Algebra, Combinatorics, Geometry, Topology, Analysis, Applied Analysis, Mathematical Biology, Mathematical Finance, Numerical Analysis, and Scientific Computing. Ongoing activities include semester themes, distinguished lecture series, workshops, miniconferences, research seminars, a visitor program, and a postdoctoral program.
