Courses and Research

Courses and Research Areas

We keep a running list of all Graduate Courses in mathematics taught at LSU since the Fall of 2002, including the projected courses for the coming semester or two.

You may also browse individual professors' websites to learn about their research.

The areas of research in our Department are loosely defined and interact and depend on each other to create a lively environment of mathematics. Below you will find an evolving list of research concentrations.
