Welcome to the website of The School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV).
The School has more than 45 tenured and tenure-track faculty members in pure and applied mathematics, statistics, and mathematics education and conduct research in various areas such as partial differential equations, number theory, algebraic geometry, applied statistics, optimization, or K-12 research, to name a few. Faculty have also established interdisciplinary collaborations with researchers in various disciplines, such as engineering, physics, biology, and the health sciences. Our faculty members have received grants from funding agencies, such as, the Department of Defense, National Science Foundation, and Eisenhower grants. The School also has a talented cadre of Lecturers who contribute to the early mathematical development of our students from across the university.
