M. S in Mathematical Sciences
Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics together with the Department of Statistical Sciences and Operations Research offers a wide range of courses in the areas of probability theory, real and complex analysis, topology, linear algebra, number theory, graph theory, combinatorics, and abstract algebra.


Master of Science in Mathematical Sciences with a conceration in mathematics:
  1. MATH 507, 508*;
  2. a six-credit sequence selected from 601-602, 603-604, 607-608, 711-712, and
  3. at least three credits from MATH 505, 509, 510, 521, 525 or any otherwise uncounted 600-level course for this concentration.
  4. Also, at least one seminar and the thesis (if chosen) must concern topics of pure mathematics.

* If a student previously received credit for one or both of these courses or their equivalent, then one or two of the other courses mentioned for this concentration must be taken as substitute(s) to satisfy the minimum requirement of 15 credits of course work in the concentration.

(For offerings in applied mathematics, check the page that deals with M.S. in Applied Math.)

Students wishing to prepare for a Ph.D. program in mathematics can build a solid foundation through an appropriate selection of courses offered by the department.
