Professor Irene M. Gamba, together with chemical engineering Professor Charles Mullins and chemistry Professor Allen Bard have received about $2.5 million grants to identify new materials that will efficiently absorb sunlight and split water into clean hydrogen fuel, which could power cars and be used to generate electricity.

UTeach
The Mathematics Department participates in UTeach, the
nationally recognized teacher certification program developed and run
cooperatively by the College of Natural Science and College of
Education. UTeach integrates actual classroom experience and
quality education in mathematics and sciences.

Community Outreach
About every fourth Saturday, high school students from across the
state meet to get down with Mathematics. The Saturday
Morning Math Group was begun by Mathematics Professor Karen
Uhlenbeck and Dan Freed in fall 1993, and is now a popular outreach program
bringing extra-curricular education to students across the
state.

Emerging Scholars
The Emerging Scholars Program is a nationally known program
for furthering the education of students from
non-traditional backgrounds. Students from high schools with
a weak mathematics program find themselves challenged by the
demands of an honors environment. And, they succeed in
Mathematics as well as in the University.
