Mathematics,
PHD
The Ph.D program prepares students for careers that depend on
advanced mathematics. These include broad areas such as advanced research and development, education, industry, government and national laboratories.
For new students the Graduate Program offers a repertoire of courses and research opportunities that ease the transition from undergraduate to
advanced graduate studies. These courses provide a sound mathematical
background, while helping beginning students to mature mathematically.
Naturally, individuals with enough maturity and knowledge need not take
these more basic courses. This introductory curriculum is an example of
Temple University's general philosophy. In our department this
philosophy takes shape as a commitment to actively participate actively in our students' development as future professionals whose work involves advanced mathematics. We take pride in caring for our students. Our faculty is very accessible, and quite willing to talk mathematics with
any inquiring student. It is this attitude towards our students that
most distinguishes our program from other graduate programs in
mathematics. While requiring excellence, we work hard at providing the environment for achieving it.
