The Mathematics Department is committed to the development, teaching, and learning of mathematics at all levels. Our faculty are actively engaged in research in many areas of pure and applied mathematics. We offer undergraduate and graduate degrees that will prepare students for jobs in industry, education, or mathematical research. We also teach a wide range of introductory mathematics courses for students in science, engineering, business, and the liberal arts, and support those students with our Math Tutorial Lab.

A program created to recruit underrepresented minority (URM) students into Iowa’s graduate program in mathematics has spread to 40 different institutions across the country.
The Math Alliance began at the University of Iowa with a GAANN grant from the Iowa Department of Education in 1995, when the department had no URM doctoral students. Since then, at least 50 URM students and counting have earned their PhDs at Iowa.
