Q: What about the CTL-M logo?

A:

The CTL-M logo is a representation of Equiangular spiral (also known as logarithmic spiral, Bernoulli spiral, and logistique) which describe a family of spirals. An Equiangular spiral is defined as a curve that cuts all radii vectors at a constant angle. We chose this representation as the logo since it is a reflection of the mathematical richness in our life and universe. You see logarithmic spirals every day. They are the natural growth curves of plants and seashells, the celebrated golden curve of ancient Greek mathematics and architecture, the optimal curve for highway turns. Peer into a flower or look down at a cactus and you will see a pattern of logarithmic spirals criss-crossing each other.

Q: What about the department logo?

A:

The Arch is the official University of Georgia logo. An artistic version of the arc used in the logo represent the integration of mathematics and teaching/learning. The left side of the arch is the integration symbol and the right side is the mirror reflection of it. Considering that both looks like the initial of Mathematics, it reflects the disciplinary mathematics. The top and bottom vertical segments together the horizontal one represents the initials of Teaching and Learning.
