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: The Beautiful Math of Bubbles
Date: Friday, February 6
Location: SA6012
Time: 12:30 - 1:30 pm
Abstract: If I dip a wireframe into soapy water, it creates beautiful bubbles with all kinds of interesting geometries. Can we derive precisely what shapes these bubbles form? In this talk we'll explore the idea of minimal surfaces. I'll share a powerful technique in the Calculus of Variations that can help us to determine equations for minimal surfaces, we'll see a range of recent results, and of course I'll have to show you plenty of pretty bubbles!
EVERYONE IS WELCOME! SNACKS PROVIDED!

GSA Teaching Award
Congratulations to Shirin Alimirzaei for receiving the 2025 Graduate Students' Association Teaching Award.
The annual GSA Teaching Awards recognize and honor graduate students at the University of Lethbridge who have demonstrated exceptional commitment and proficiency in their teaching roles. Eight student instructors were nominated this year, and each nomination required a letter of support from an undergraduate student, so this was well-earned.
This semester, Shirin has been running the three tutorials for MATH 1010 - Introduction to Calculus and helping run the four tutorials for MATH 1560 - Calculus I; quite the teaching workload for an already-busy PhD candidate!
