The Department of Mathematics and Statistics is an academic department at McGill University. It is located in Burnside Hall at McGill's downtown campus in Montreal.
The discipline of mathematics was taught at McGill as early as 1848; however, it was divided into two independent departments until 1924. Following its emergence, it remained almost entirely a service department until the 1940s, when several department members began promoting research within it. The department's library was established at 1971.
