Students in the Department also profit from the existence of the Center for Pure and Applied Mathematics, an organized research unit, which is situated with the Department in Evans Hall. In 1999-00 over 69 semesters of research assistantships in the Center were held by graduate students of the Department. In a beautifully designed and functional building on the hills above the Berkeley campus overlooking San Francisco Bay, about 150 mathematicians from around the world come each year to participate in research programs in a wide variety of mathematical topics. In Spring 2000 program, Numerical and Applied Mathematics, and Fall 1999 program, Galois Groups and Fundamental Groups, have taken place. The combined and cooperative efforts of the Department, the Center, and the Institute taken together provide a program of mathematics courses, workshops, seminars, and colloquia of remarkable variety and exciting intensity.
Most faculty members belong to more than one section.
