Greetings from all of us in the Purdue Mathematics Department and welcome to our first online Math PUrview newsletter. For the past 16 years, the department has published a print newsletter and mailed it to our alumni and friends. This year we begin a new era by creating an electronic newsletter and making it available on our website. We hope you will find the online newsletter accessible and easy to read. I also encourage you to visit our website regularly to keep up with departmental news throughout the year.

In this newsletter you will read about many awards and recognitions received by members of the department and other news from the past year. Read full message
