Announcement
The Math Learning Center has moved to Dunn Hall 341 (the old Math Library).
The Department of Mathematical Sciences is happy to announce the return of our Weekly Colloquium Series, with the fall schedule coming soon. Please check the departmental calendar for further information.
Plenary Talks/Invited course-lectures by the DMS Faculty
The Faculty of the DMS is actively involved in cutting edge research in the mathematical
sciences. This is reflected by the several high-visibility, invited talks and course-lectures
presented worldwide. Some of the key-note talks and lectures recently delivered/to
be soon delivered by the DMS Faculty are given. Follow our departmental calendar for updates!
The Combinatorics Group is rebooting our Combinatorics Seminar. We're planning on having one soon in the Combinatorics Seminar Room on the 2nd floor of Dunn Hall. The Ralph Faudree Postdoc, Chao Liu, will give the talk, Title: The Multiplicative Properties for Zero-Sums. Abstract: In this talk, we will present recent joint work in Zero-Sum Theory by David J. Grynkiewicz and Chao Liu. We investigate the multiplicative properties for Zero-Sums on finite abelian groups of rank 2, which allows us to establish the structures for the extremal sequences that do not contain nontrivial zero-sum subsequences of the relevant short lengths.
Rankings
Recent Ranking of Mathematics Departments: The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Memphis is ranked # 62 nationally and # 145 worldwide on Research.com website, among Departments of Mathematics). The university ranking for Mathematics was developed by Research.com, one of the prominent platforms for computer science research maintaining reliable data on scientific contributions since 2014, with the aim of answering the question of what is the best Mathematics university.

Scholarships
Jamie McMahan Scholarship in Math
Math Department has received a generous endowed gift, Jamie McMahan Scholarship in Math. This scholarship is for undergraduate students with financial needs majoring in
Math.
A minimum of a 3.0 GPA is required.
The Dr. Karen E. Chancellor Memorial Scholarship endowment has been created for the ABM [Accelerated Baccalaureate Master] program.
The Scholarship will provide partial support for ABM students in their final year of the program. Students will be able to apply for the Karen Chancellor Memorial Scholarship from November 2023 through February 2024 in the Tiger Scholarship Manager system. The Department wishes to express heartfelt thanks of gratitude to Ms. Carol Chancellor for her generous gift in memory of her sister Karen, which will truly enhance the ABM program in DMS.
The Dr. Karen E. Chancellor Memorial Scholarship was established by her sister, Carol Chancellor. Dr. Chancellor (BA “80; MS ’80) served as Shelby County’s medical examiner for nearly 14 years before her tragic death on Sept. 10, 2021, following a car crash. At an early age, Dr. Chancellor demonstrated a penchant for the scholarship. After graduating from Overton High School in Memphis, she became of the first students to graduate from the University of Memphis with an undergraduate and a master’s degrees at the same time. She later earned a medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine. In 2012, Dr. Chancellor was awarded the University of Memphis Outstanding Alumna Award. This scholarship will be awarded to full-time students enrolled in their second year of the Accelerated Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree Program in the Department of Mathematical Sciences.
