Math alum Jeff Shiner (BMath ’92) has generously agreed to match any gift up to $50,000 to the Math General Fund (Area of Greatest Need). This Fund enables the Faculty to address new opportunities and tackle challenges as they arise. You can triple your impact by giving to the Math General Fund today!
Since the beginning, the Faculty of Mathematics has been a trailblazer. From personal computing to smartphones to cybersecurity to AI, our people have driven the innovations that have shaped our world. This proud tradition continues today. Math students are leading change by launching dynamic startups or joining the world’s top companies. And our researchers are fueling advances in cutting-edge fields like AI, bioinformatics, quantitative climate, security and privacy, and more.
Your generosity helps us support remarkable Math students like Jason Amri. Amri co-founded 3cycle, a startup which uses a localized circular supply chain to collect, recycle and transform 3D-printed waste into brand new filament to give back to the community. By closing the loop on plastic waste from 3D printing, 3cycle helps tackle the growing environmental challenge of plastic pollution.
“I hope we're sparking ideas on what it means to have a circular supply chain. Looking at how we consume and dispose of anything we use as a society is very important. But understanding how we can find opportunities to take what we dispose of and turn it back into something useful for us is even more important.” Jason Amri, Co-Founder of 3cycle
Mathematics 4 (M4) will be a stunning five-story, 120,000-square-foot building that will feature dynamic classrooms and event space, state-of-the-art labs and an efficient server room that will spur advances in green computing.
The Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC) seeks to increase interest, enjoyment, confidence, and ability in mathematics and computer science among learners and educators, from grades K to 12, in Canada and internationally.
The Entrepreneurship Fund develops the next generation of Waterloo founders by making possible dynamic entrepreneurship programming, including pitch competitions, hackathons, alumni talks, conferences and one-on-one mentorship.
Women in Mathematics (WiM) advocates for and supports women and gender minorities who are interested in studying mathematics and who seek careers in mathematics.
Women in Computer Science (WiCS) ensures talented young women and gender minorities entering into computer science studies have access to programming and strategic supports aimed to build a strong pipeline of future female leaders in this traditionally male-dominated field.
The General Fund allows the Faculty of Mathematics to address technology gaps, infrastructure needs, and to help us attract and retain outstanding students and faculty.
