EnglishWhat Events and News Are Featured on the UW Applied Mathematics Website?
Updated
The UW Department of Applied Mathematics site (amath.washington.edu) features two main streams of current activity: the Boeing Colloquium Series for talks by visiting applied mathematicians, and a Recent News section covering faculty research, graduations, and student recognition. Both are updated on the homepage, with separate pages for the full talk schedule and news archive.
Boeing Colloquium Series
The Boeing Colloquium Series is the department's flagship lecture series. According to the site, it "hosts prominent applied mathematicians from around the world," and upcoming talks are listed under an Upcoming Talks heading.
If you want to attend or follow along, check this section for speaker names, dates, and topics. The homepage shows only the upcoming entries — the full schedule typically lives on its own events page.
Recent News
The Recent News section mixes research impact, academic milestones, and student/faculty profiles. Examples visible on the site:
| Date | Item |
|---|---|
| August 20, 2026 | Emeritus Professors LeVeque and Adams model tsunami impact on the Washington coast |
| June 17, 2026 | Graduation 2026 |
| April 27, 2026 | Congratulations to Amy Rude & Lila Perkins |
| November 13, 2025 | Tim Leung interviewed by The Olympian |
| November 03, 2025 | Kaitlynn Lilly featured on UW's We Are First-Generation |
A View all news link leads to the full archive. The mix is useful if you want a sense of what the department actually does — tsunami modeling, mathematical finance (Tim Leung's area), and student community stories all appear side by side.
Upcoming Events
The homepage includes an Upcoming Events block alongside the colloquium and news sections. This is where department-level events beyond the colloquium series are posted. The site does not describe a separate public calendar in the material available, so treat the homepage block as the starting point and follow links from there.
How to Use These Sections
- Prospective students: scan Recent News for research areas and student profiles; check the colloquium for the intellectual range of the department.
- Researchers looking for talks: go straight to the Boeing Colloquium Series and its Upcoming Talks list.
- Alumni or press: the news archive is the fastest way to see recent faculty media appearances and awards.
One practical note: the site lists news items with future-dated entries (2026), so if you are checking for the current term, confirm dates against the linked article rather than assuming the homepage reflects today.
