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.

Millenium Lectures
In May of 2000, a prize fund of $7 million was announced,
for the solution of seven Milleniuum Problems In
Mathematics. In Spring of 2001 the Math Department at UT Austin offered a
series of seven Millenium lectures. The lectures were open
to the community, and offered the public a
vision of modern mathematics.
