LSU Mathematics

Today we’re proud to recognize the amazing students who just completed their mathematics degrees here at Louisiana State University. Your hard work, resilience, and curiosity brought you here, and we can’t wait to see the impact you’ll make.

To our graduates: congratulations, and welcome to the LSU Mathematics alumni community for life. 💜💛

We were honored to welcome Dr. Carol Woodward, SIAM President and LSU alumnus, back to campus last week! Dr. Woodward shared insights on career development, leadership in applied mathematics, and opportunities within SIAM for students and researchers with the LSU SIAM and AWM Student Chapters. This was a fantastic opportunity to meet one of the leading figures in applied mathematics and to ask questions about professional development, research, and involvement in the SIAM community.

We are proud to celebrate the remarkable achievements of Professor Susanne C. Brenner, Boyd Professor of Mathematics and Associate Director of Academic Affairs for LSU's Center for Computation and Technology. In 2025, Prof. Brenner has been recognized with three major international honors: 1. 2025 Blaise Pascal Medal in Computational and Information Sciences from the European Academy of Sciences, the sixth recipient in this field since the award’s inception. 2. Election as a member of the European Academy of Sciences, in recognition of her outstanding contributions to numerical analysis of partial differential equations. 3. Invitation to speak at the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM), the first LSU faculty member to receive this honor since 1970. These distinctions highlight Prof. Brenner’s leadership at the forefront of computational mathematics and underscore the global impact of her work. Please join us in congratulating Prof. Brenner on these extraordinary accomplishments! 🎉
