In addition, the mathematical sciences operate a networked system of over 150 computers and workstations. Each graduate student office contains a workstation on the mathematical sciences network. All mathematics graduate students, faculty and staff have accounts on the mathematical sciences network and all accounts have the same level of access. Opportunities also exist for study of computational methods through the Center for Computational Sciences. The University has a campus-wide license for the computer mathematics system Maple.
Maple is on all university instructional and research computers.
The license provides copies for home machines of all University faculty, staff, teaching and research assistants, and fellowship recipients. Financial Aid Teaching Assistantships and Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis. All U.S. applicants are considered as candidates for a Presidential Fellowship. There are also a limited number of Research Assistantships with no teaching duties, for advanced students. Continuing students have the opportunity to teach in the summer term, based on the availability of courses.
