Welcome to the Department of Mathematics and Statistics
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics is one of the largest departments on campus, with 46 tenured and tenure track faculty (45 actively working in the department with one serving in upper administration: TTU President Lawrence Schovanec). In addition, the Department includes 8 postdoctoral associates (including an NSF-funded postdoc), and 9 instructors. The graduate enrollment has averaged 150 grad students per year since 2015. Of them, 100 are currently supported full time as graduate part-time instructors, teaching assistants or research assistants.
To minimize your risk during the COVID-19 outbreak, we ask that you contact the Department primarily through email at math.dept@ttu.edu, or the Undergraduate Advisor or Graduate Advisor as appropriate. Calls to the Department can be made to (806) 742-2566. See the University's COVID-19 page.
