GENERAL INFORMATION
The School
of Mathematics at Georgia Tech offers graduate programs leading to
the degrees of Master of Science in Mathematics and Doctor
of Philosophy in Mathematics. Both programs are designed to provide
the student with a broad perspective in advanced mathematics and its
applications. To this end, each program stresses a solid foundation
in graduate-level mathematics as well as an exposure to the use of
mathematics in other disciplines.
After completing
introductory graduate courses in such areas as real analysis and
Hilbert Spaces, students in the master's degree program choose
an area of concentration within mathematics, and also enroll in
courses in another School of the Institute. Doctoral students, in
addition to taking courses to prepare themselves for research in
their chosen areas of mathematics, complete a minor program taken
entirely outside the School of Mathematics.
The doctoral dissertation consists of original research in one of the
research specialties of the School.
Additionally,
the School of Mathematics participates with other Schools on campus
in three interdisciplinary doctoral programs,
Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization (ACO), Computational Sciences
and Engineering (CSE), and
Bioinformatics,
and three interdisciplinary master's programs,
Quantitative and Computational Finance (QCF),
Statistics, and CSE.
These programs have their own admission and course requirements
and are administered by interdepartmental committees. Students must
be admitted to these programs through a participating Georgia Tech
Unit.
With an active faculty of over 50 people, and a population of about 100
graduate students, we are able to provide all our graduate students
with first rate instruction and personal attention.

is available that includes links to more information.
