Graduate Program in Mathematics Navigation Math. Undergraduate Programs Masters Program in Applied Math. About 40 graduate students from all parts of the world work with some 40 regular faculty members and several visitors. Designed to help students develop into educated, creative and articulate mathematicians, the program consists of basic training in the fundamentals, more advanced topics and seminars, and two to three years of research work in close association with a faculty member. Limited enrollment, the presence of active groups of strong mathematicians and a lively schedule of seminars and colloquia provide excellent opportunities for research.
Many students complete the program in four years, others in five, and a few in three.
The department has its own building with a comprehensive research library of more than 27,000 volumes and subscriptions to about 290 current journals. Computer labs are furnished with high-level Macintosh, and Sun Workstations, laser printers, compilers and the latest software packages. All graduate students are provided with comfortable office space, two to an office. In the context of a warm and friendly social atmosphere, students are assured a stimulating and challenging intellectual experience. A new graduate student should plan to arrive at Notre Dame several days before registration.
