PROBLEM. ANALYSIS. SOLUTION.
Our computer science, mathematics and statistics faculty and instructors are top of the line, with credentials to rival other universities in and outside of Canada.
We offer Bachelor of Science undergraduate degrees in Applied Statistics, Computer Science and Mathematics. Both Master's and Doctoral levels of study are also available. Department faculty are currently working with students studying at each of these levels, many of whom are graduate students from around the world. Learn more about our majors and minors.
Undergraduate students may have opportunities to do research projects with our faculty, using modern facilities, for hands-on experience. Several department faculty have independent research programmes supported by agencies such as NSERC and IBM Canada, and at times, there may be a collaboration with other disciplines.
During this unique time in the world, the University of Lethbridge may be a bit restrictive for personal visits, so please take the time to "meet" our faculty and instructors via the buttons directly below. We think you'll see the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science offers a wide range of topics in each of our disciplines, and we're confident you will find something to appeal to your intellectual interests.

TOPIC: Vanishing Sums of Roots of Unity: from Integer Tilings to Projections of Fractal Sets
Date: Wednesday, Oct 8
Location: Markin Hall - M1060
Time: 1:30 - 2:30 pm
In this talk, we will discuss two significant strengthenings of this result (one due to myself and I. Łaba, another due to myself, G. Kiss, I. Łaba and G. Somlai), which are derived from complexity measurements for polynomials with integer coefficients which have many cyclotomic polynomial divisors. As applications, we give connections in two other areas of mathematics. The first is in the study of integer tilings: additive decompositions of the integers Z = A+B as a sum set, where each integer is represented uniquely. The second application is to the Favard length problem in fractal geometry, which asks for bounds upon the average length of the projections of certain dynamically-defined fractals onto lines.
This talk is based upon my individual work, as well as my joint work with I. Łaba, as well as my joint work with G. Kiss, I. Łaba and G. Somlai. All are welcome, and the first 15-20 minutes will include introductory ideas and examples for all results discussed in the latter portion of the talk.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

Dr. Darcy Best
The leap from university to industry as a software engineer often feels like a mystery until you're actually there. Which skills from computer science (and math) courses actually carry over to the "real world"? In this talk, I'll share my own journey from student to software engineer, highlighting what translated well, what didn't, and what I wish I had known sooner. I'll offer some practical tips on how you can start preparing now to make your interview process much smoother and how to thrive once you've landed the job.
Pi Day Fun!
We had a great turn out for Pi 2025!
Lots of games and challenges while enjoying a slice of pie.
Pi Reciting winner was Mahad Simon, who recited to 260 digits!! Very impressive!
We also acknowledged our 2025 Myrtle Ruth Bodie Scholarship Recipients.
Congratulations to Dev Khullar, Heidi Andres and Vlad Zaitsev (pictured) as well as Cassie Saint and Kellen Thomson.
