Welcome to the Bates College math department home page! On the left is Hathorn Hall, where the math department is located. Hathorn Hall is the oldest academic building on campus. We share it with many of the language department people. Our building coordinator (receptionist - secretary - building manager) is Georgette Dumais; her office is room 200. If you look carefully at the picture of Hathorn, you can see her looking out her office window. Scroll down for math department information and descriptions of links.

Sampson Lecture Series	Set up in honor of the Late Professor Richard W. Sampson, each year the Sampson Lecture Fund sponsors a visit to Bates by some well-known mathematics person. The Sampson Lecturer typically presents an afternoon seminar for the mathematics department. The actual Sampson Lecture is given in the evening, and is meant for a general audience. We have had a great series of Lecturers! Click here to see a list of previous Sampson Lecture speakers and their topics.
