DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS
AND STATISTICS NEWSLETTER
WELCOME
FROM THE CHAIR
The 2016 inaugural edition
of the Auburn University
Department of Mathematics and
Statistics newsletter has arrived!
Our department is providing
remarkable mathematics and
statistics education to the next
generation and equipping them
with analytic and problemsolving skills. Our faculty, staff,
and students conduct exceptional
research, statistical consulting,
and service and outreach, and
we are proud of our work. I
hope you will find the newsletter
helpful and informative as you
read about the exciting activities,
events, and accomplishments
of our department over the past
couple of years.
Please also be sure to visit our
new departmental website at
www.auburn.edu/cosam/math
(and if you see any errors, let us
know!).
Lastly, as you may have heard,
Auburn University is in the midst
of a historic $1 billion campaign
that will propel our university
forward through a renewed
commitment to our students, a
continued promise to our state,
and a shared responsibility to
the world. If you are interested
in supporting the Department
of Mathematics and Statistics
through a charitable gift that
will help us to better prepare
our students, enable our faculty,
build our academic programs,
and establish new facilities,
please be sure to contact me or
send an email to the College of
Sciences and Mathematics Office
of Alumni and Development at
[email protected].
If you have any questions
or comments regarding our
newsletter, website, or anything
to do with the Department of
Mathematics and Statistics, please

our faculty members.
