Fellows will have the opportunity to involve themselves in innovative research structures. The Mathematics Department anticipates awarding several of these fellowships to first year graduate students. We encourage all students with any interest in graduate study to consider applying to our program. Half-time assistants usually teach four hours per week. Several Departmental Fellowships with reduced teaching are given to outstanding candidates.
Research fellowships are available for advanced students for both the summer and the academic year.
The Mathematics Library features on outstanding collection of research journals and reference material in pure and applied mathematics. The department maintains a network of over sixty Sun Workstations, several high performance scientific computing and graphics workstations, and equipment for high-quality graphics output. University facilities for research computing include an Intel Paragon parallel supercomputer. Purdue University is a tenable school under the provisions set forth by the Fannie and John Hertz Foundation. Purdue's main campus has approximately 30,000 undergraduate students and 6,700 graduate students.
