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.

Emerging Scholars
The Emerging Scholars Program is a nationally known program
for furthering the education of students from
non-traditional backgrounds. Students from high schools with
a weak mathematics program find themselves challenged by the
demands of an honors environment. And, they succeed in
Mathematics as well as in the University.
