O que eu aprenderei?

The School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences offers graduate degree programs leading to the Master of Arts or Master of Science in Mathematics and the Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics. Students in the master’s in Mathematics program can choose from a rich assortment of courses in both pure and applied mathematics and statistics. Each master’s in Mathematics degree candidate works closely with a professor in writing a research paper in an area of interest to the student. A double major at the master’s level between mathematics and a related discipline is also an option. At the doctoral level, a student may specialize in any one of a large number of fields such as algebra, applied mathematics, combinatorics, computational mathematics, control theory, differential equations, geometry, numerical analysis, probability, or statistics. Interdisciplinary programs are also available.

The School is committed to providing a challenging and rewarding experience for its graduate students. The School offers individual attention and mentoring, strives to establish a friendly, supportive environment, and assists students as much as possible to achieve their professional goals. Graduate students have 24-hour access to the departmental computer lab which has thirty state-of-the-art PCs, all with internet connections. For more computing needs, students can access the University Unix computer servers from the lab.

Students interested in the teaching of mathematics may apply up to nine credit hours in graduate level courses in the School of Education toward the 30 hours required for the Master of Science degree in mathematics subject to approval of the Director of Graduate Studies.

Students will be considered for acceptance into the M.S. in Mathematics degree program if they have completed an undergraduate major in mathematics or a strong undergraduate minor in mathematics together with a major in a closely related discipline. Once accepted, the requirements are as follows:

The candidate must complete a total of at least 30 hours of graduate credit approved by the Director of Graduate Studies of which 15 hours must be at the 500 level, only three of which can be for MATH 595, MATH 598 or MATH 599, and at least 21 credit hours must be in courses (exclusive of MATH 411, MATH 412, MATH 511, MATH 512A-G and MATH 513A-I) offered by the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences. A minor concentration may be taken outside of the school if approved by the Director of Graduate Studies during the student’s first semester in the master’s program.

The candidate’s program must include: (a) MATH 452 and MATH 419 AND (b) at least one 400- or 500-level mathematics course from two of the following three areas: (1) algebra and analysis (excluding MATH 452 and MATH 419); (2) geometry and topology; (3) probability and statistics. These requirements may be met in whole or in part by means of equivalent courses taken here or elsewhere prior to acceptance for graduate study in the program. Students who do not receive a B or better in MATH 452 on the first attempt are required to repeat it. Students who do not receive a B or better in MATH 419 on the first attempt are required to repeat it.

The candidate must prepare a research paper or thesis (3 hours credit in MATH 598 or MATH 599) under the supervision of a research adviser and two other faculty members from the School. This committee will be appointed by the Director of Graduate Studies after consultation with all those involved.
