We live in exciting, perhaps even unsettling times. But there is one source of excitement we can all be happy about: the state of Mathematics at Georgia Tech. The faculty of the School of Math are making great strides in research and are bringing in grants and awards at a record pace. Our graduate students are writing strong dissertations and getting excellent first positions. Our undergraduates continue to be among the best students on campus and are moving on to top graduate programs and important jobs in industry. And our staff are recognized as models to be emulated across campus. The School is carrying out all of its missions with great energy, enthusiasm, and quality. Continued...

History |
||
|
Georgia Institute of Technology, then known as the Georgia School of
Technology, opened its doors to students in the Fall of 1888. Ready
and waiting, was Captain Lyman Hall, the head of the Department of
Mathematics and the very first faculty member selected by Georgia Tech's inaugural
President, Isaac S. Hopkins. Perhaps Dr. Hopkins recognized the critical
importance of a strong mathematics education.
Dr. Richard A. Duke, Professor Emeritus, has meticulously compiled a book covering the first hundred years of Mathematics at Georgia Tech. He has gracefully allowed the School to provide an electronic copy. Mathematics at Georgia Tech: The First Hundred Years, 1888 - 1987 by Dr. Richard A.
