• Combinatorics and Geometry
• Complex Analysis
• Differential Geometry and Partial Differential Equations
• Rainwater Seminar (Ergodic Theory, Dynamical Systems, Real and Functional Analysis)
• Inverse Problems
• Optimization
• Probability
• Joint Mathematics-Physics String Theory Seminar
• Numerical Analysis
• Topology

• The Math Department Colloquium, meeting weekly or biweekly during the academic year, features expository talks by research mathematicians on current topics of broad interest to all faculty and grad students in the department

 
• Current Topics in Mathematics, meeting weekly throughout the year, is a forum for introducing first- and second-year graduate students to current research topics, open problems, and other issues of interest to the mathematical profession.  Talks are given by UW Math faculty and advanced graduate students.

 
• The Applied and Computational Mathematical Sciences Seminar, meeting biweekly throughout the year, is a series of talks on the applications of mathematics, intended to be accessible to undergraduates and beginning graduate students

The UW Math Department is a sponsor and active participant in a number of regular regional conferences, which generally meet one or two times per year, and many of which are supported by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences.
