The Courant Institute School of Mathematics, Computing, and Data Science, previously known as the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, is a constituent school of New York University. Founded in 1935 as the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, the school is named after Richard Courant, who was one of its founders and a mathematics professor from 1936 to 1972. The Mathematics Department is housed in Warren Weaver Hall on Gould Plaza. On November 13, 2025, New York University announced the creation of the Courant Institute School of Mathematics, Computing and Data Science, which includes the university's Department of Mathematics, the Center for Data Science and an expanded Department of Computer Science now linked with the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Tandon School of Engineering.
