Statement of Purpose for Academic Study
School of Mathematics, University of Minnesota
Minneapolis, MN   55455

On this page, please submit a statement of purpose for academic study along with your application for financial assistance.  
You should list the three people who will write your letters of recommendation.  These letters are a very important part of 
your application, since they are used to estimate your potential and motivation for graduate work in mathematics.  Therefore, 
letters from sources unfamiliar with graduate-level work in mathematics are not usually helpful. Usually these letters are from 
mathematicians with whom you've been involved in advanced coursework or research projects.
