Ralf Schmidt, Chair
Faculty
Opportunities for supervised research are available in a variety of areas involving pure and applied mathematics, and statistics.
Students who graduate with degrees in mathematics are flexible and adaptable in the workplace and readily obtain jobs with high-technology companies and in business, industry, government and education. Salaries and working conditions are comparable with those of engineers and computer scientists.
Research
Faculty and students actively pursue both basic and applied research in mathematics from traditional areas of algebra, analysis, applied and computational mathematics, dynamical systems and ergodic theory, geometry and topology, mathematical logic and foundations, number theory, statistics.
Faculty research is supported by federal and private grants. Many of these grants provide research support for graduate students.
The university library collection in the mathematical sciences is one of the nation’s finest and many are available electronically.
Advising
All graduate students will consult with the graduate advisor regarding a program of study. Graduate students are evaluated annually regarding progress toward graduation. Those not making satisfactory progress will be dismissed from the mathematics program. Appeals for reinstatement may be made to the department’s graduate affairs committee.
Admission requirements
Application for admission to the Toulouse Graduate School is made through the office of the dean of the Graduate School. The applicant should have the equivalent of an undergraduate major in mathematics at UNT. Deficiencies in this respect will be evaluated and must be remedied as a condition of final admission. General GRE scores are required and the Math Subject GRE is recommended. Contact the department or the Toulouse Graduate School concerning information about standardized admission test requirements.
Scholarships and financial support
Graduate students usually support their study by working as teaching fellows for the department. Teaching fellows are paid competitive stipends.
Work also is available as a teaching assistant, math lab tutor or grader. There can be funds within the department to support some research assistants.
Contact the graduate advisor for complete details and for information about financial support.
