Accreditation:
True
This programs adheres to accepted professional standards of Mathematics education and research.
Areas
of Specialization:
The M.A. is offered in two tracks: Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics; both can be continued to the PhD. The pure track emphasizes the classical areas of mathematics, such as analysis, algebra, probability, and topology. The applied track emphasizes computational mathematics and probability/statistics.
The Department has about forty faculty members actively involved in research and graduate education. With a graduate student body of about the same number, we are a program of moderate size with a high faculty/student ratio providing students with unique opportunities for flexible program design and ample interaction with faculty. Classes are small and are held in an informal atmosphere enabling students and faculty to work closely together.
The department offers a great variety of possible choices for areas of
specialization. Areas in which there is a strong research presence
include: computational mathematics, numerical analysis, mathematics of
materials, mathematical physics related probability and mathematical
statistics, algebra, algebraic and analytic number theory,
combinatorics, several complex variables, harmonic analysis, partial differential equations, differential and computational geometry and topology, and global geometry. Both prospective and matriculated students are encouraged to browse faculty web pages and contact faculty directly for more detailed information regarding areas of specialization
and opportunities for further research.
Job
Placement:
Graduates either continue advanced educational programs or else pursue employment in industry, education, or government laboratories and agencies.
Affiliation(s):
The Mathematics program at Temple University is affiliated with the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Association of America.
Interdisciplinary
Study :
The program encourages interdisciplinary coursework, research and interactions among faculty and students with interest in computer and information sciences, physical and life sciences, statistics and engineering.
Study
Abroad:
Department faculty are active internationally and sometimes travel overseas for conferences and extended research visits. In some cases it may be possible for students to participate in these activities as well.
Licensure:
False
Non-degree
Student Policy:
