Degrees OfferedThere are two tracks to obtain a Ph.D. in Mathematics:
There are four Master's Programs in Mathematics:
Our graduate programs benefit greatly from the presence of the following Centers
located in the immediate proximity of the School of Mathematics: The Minnesota Center for Industrial Mathematics (MCIM), in the School of Mathematics,
facilitates mathematics programs that provide students with broad training
appropriate for the industrial and business workforce, thus playing an important
role in the Ph.D. and M.S. Programs in and Applied Mathematics. Center faculty and
students collaborate with companies to provide solutions to problems of industry.
Thus a student works under the guidance of a faculty advisor as well as an industry
mentor, and during the summer months a student typically works as an intern in a
company. The companies that have recently participated in our program include: 3M,
LORAM, Ford Motor Co., Motorola, Deluxe Corporation, Honeywell, Lucent, General
Motors, Computing Devices International, Manufacturer's Services, Lockheed-Martin,
Schlumberger, Medtronic, Bellcore and XOX Corporation. A state-of-the-art computing laboratory has recently been constructed in
Vincent Hall and will be used to enhance several new courses in Numerical Analysis
and Applied Mathematics that will benefit the students and faculty in the Industrial
and Applied Mathematics programs. The Institute for Mathematics and Its Applications (IMA), associated with the
School of Mathematics, is one of two national research centers funded by the
National Science Foundation. The IMA attracts world class faculty, industry
scientists and students to the University of Minnesota and helps to produce a
uniquely stimulating environment. The Institute of Technology Center for Educational Programs (ITCEP) assists the
School of Mathematics in the M.S. with Emphasis in Mathematics Education Program.
The many programs of the Center provide opportunities for graduate students in
mathematics to gain experience in innovative teaching methods and curriculum
development. Programs of special interest include the Calculus Initiative, the
University of Minnesota Talented Youth Mathematics Program (UMTYMP), the Young
Emerging Scholars (YES) program, the PRIME Enrichment program for 5th and 6th
graders, and the GAMMA Enrichment Mathematics Club for high-school students. last updated 10 Oct 99
