EnglishWhat Is math.berkeley.edu?
Updated
math.berkeley.edu is the official website of the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley. It is an information hub for the department rather than an online course platform or a math tool: the site presents news and events, people, research areas, and academic programs for undergraduate and graduate study. It is most useful to prospective and current students, faculty, and visitors who need official department information.
What the site covers
The navigation and page content show the site organized around a few core areas:
| Area | What you'll find |
|---|---|
| About | Contact information, news and announcements, newsletter, upcoming events, directions, employment |
| People | Faculty, emeriti, postdocs and instructors, visitors, staff, graduate students, past members |
| Research | Research areas (Algebra; Mathematical Analysis; Applied Mathematics; Geometry/Topology; Mathematical Logic; Probability) and affiliated research centers |
| Courses | Course selection guidance, lower-division course outlines, honors courses, course equivalency, enrollment and concurrent enrollment, course offerings by term, tutoring, textbooks, exam archives |
| Undergraduate | Majors in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, teaching concentration, declaring the major, FAQ, honors program, minor, advising, study abroad, undergraduate research, career resources |
| Graduate | Ph.D. program details (preliminary exam, qualifying exam, dissertation filing), M.A. in Mathematics, admissions, FAQ, new graduate students, funding and fellowships |
| Resources | Campus student support, room reservations, committee descriptions, resolving problems and complaints, computing support |
Who it is for
- Prospective students can compare the undergraduate majors and the graduate programs, and read admissions and FAQ pages before applying.
- Current students can check course offerings for a specific term, find course outlines and exam archives, and look up advising and tutoring information.
- Faculty, instructors, and staff can reach department resources, appointment information, and computing support.
- Visitors and the public can find the department address, directions, and the schedule of colloquia, seminars, and workshops.
How to use it
- Start from the top-level navigation that matches your role or question — for example, "Courses" for term offerings or "Undergraduate" for major requirements.
- For a specific term, open the course offerings page and select the term (the site lists terms such as Spring 2027, Fall 2026, and Summer 2026).
- For policies and procedures, use the FAQ pages under Undergraduate or Graduate; for practical problems, the "Resolving Problems & Complaints" page under Resources.
- To verify you are on the official site, check that the address is math.berkeley.edu and the page header reads "Department of Mathematics."
Limits to keep in mind
The site is a department information site. It does not present itself as a place to take courses online, and the available material does not state pricing or login requirements for any service, so do not assume any part of it is free or open without signing in. For enrollment actions, official deadlines, or application decisions, confirm details on the linked pages or with the department directly rather than relying on a summary.
