| Description of the academic program structure including courses required and available options to fill in gaps in undergraduate training. |
AIM MLB -total of 31 credits: nine regular courses (3 credits each) and 2 credits of the AIM Student Seminar (Math 501, to be taken in the first two semesters), with the remaining credits being composed of other approved graduate courses.
Among the nine regular courses, the AIM MLB program additionally requires:
at least five courses from the enhanced list of AIM core courses
The study program must include at least three 500-level courses from this list.
The study program must also include:
MATH 404 (Intermediate Differential Equations),
MATH 419 (Linear Spaces and Matrix Theory), and
MATH 451 (Advanced Calculus I), unless similar courses have been satisfactorily completed as part of the undergraduate degree.
at least two courses from a chosen partner field, or another field outside of mathematics.
MATH 454 (Boundary Value Problems for Partial Differential Equations)
Research Requirement
Math MLB-
The Math MLB MS program must include at least one course in each of the following four core areas:
(1) linear algebra: 419§, 420, 571.
(2) algebra: 412§, 475, 493, 567, 575, 593, 594 or other 500-level algebra courses
(3) analysis: 451§, 452, 525, 526, 555, 596, 597, or other 500-level analysis courses
(4) topology/geometry: 490§, 537, 590, 591, or other 500-level topology/geometry courses
In addition, MLB Math students should take at least four mathematics courses at the 500 level or above. These four courses may overlap with the courses taken to satsify the four core area requirements. To maximize flexibility, we do not require any specific courses beyond the core ones listed above, which we feel are essential to eventual success in the PhD program.
