The Graduate Program in Mathematics is large enough to encompass research and courses in many areas, yet small enough to remain responsive to the needs of individual students. There are approximately 60 graduate students, 40 professors, and several postdoctoral and visiting researchers. The active areas of research include: algebraic geometry, analysis (real, complex, functional and harmonic), analytic functions, applied mathematics, nancial mathematics and mathematics of insurance, commutative algebra, scattering theory, differential equations (ordinary and partial), differential geometry, dynamical systems, general relativity, mathematical physics, number theory, representation theory, probabilistic analysis and topology.<br><br>To increase the predictability and the enrollment for core graduate courses, we will stay with the prescribed Fall/Spring schedule for core graduate courses. Advanced graduate courses may be offered on a less predictable basis.<br><br>Advanced graduate courses include three sub-classes:<br><br>Topics courses (title includes the word Topics). Examples include 8102, 8302, ...<br>Seminar courses (title includes the word Seminar).
