Hermosillo, Sonora, August 16, 2024.- With a wide-ranging academic program, the University of Sonora, through the Interdisciplinary Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences and the Department of Mathematics, celebrates today and tomorrow the twentieth anniversary of the Graduate Degree in Mathematical Sciences.
To start the activities, an emotional ceremony was held, presided over by the Rector María Rita Blancarte Martínez, who, in addition to congratulating the directors, teachers and students, gave recognition to both the members of the responsible committee and the external consultants of the project. Creation of the Postgraduate Degree in Mathematical Sciences.

The Head of the Mathematics Department, Francisco Espinosa Fierro, was responsible for welcoming and highlighting the quality of the mathematics teachers who have raised the level of the undergraduate and graduate academic program.
“They have accomplished the task of doing high-quality mathematics and are at an important stage of generational change and are committed to continuing to train new generations of mathematicians,” he said.
High quality training
For his part, Juan Pablo Soto Barreras, General Coordinator of the Interdisciplinary Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences, also emphasized the commitment of the faculty to train more than one hundred graduates of the postgraduate degree in mathematics with high quality in twenty years.
“Today, these are unified postgraduate courses across the northwest of the country,” he noted.
Likewise, the coordinator of postgraduate studies in mathematical sciences, Manuel Adrian Acuña Zegarra, referred to the trajectory of those who participated in the postgraduate course, both as students and as teachers, which has resulted in the emergence of a group of professionals with a high academic level and extensive knowledge of the contents, theories and methods of the main branches of mathematics.
“We are honored to have four permanent members of the Mexican Academy of Sciences,” he added.
Minjarez Sosa also pointed to the teachers’ participation during the pandemic with the state’s educational authorities.
