The Mathematics Department is committed to the development, teaching, and learning of mathematics at all levels. Our faculties are actively engaged in research in many areas of pure and applied mathematics.
The Doctor of Philosophy in mathematics requires a minimum of 72 s.h. of graduate credit. The program places strong emphasis on preparation for research and teaching. The department maintains no division between pure and applied mathematics. It cooperates in interdisciplinary doctoral programs with the College of Education (see Teaching and Learning in the Catalog) and the Program in Applied Mathematical and Computational Sciences.
Ph.D. students in mathematics must satisfy the following requirements for course work (credits and breadth), examinations, foreign language, and the Ph.D. thesis.
Students must spend at least three years in residence at a graduate college, including at least one year at the University of Iowa. They also should enroll in specific courses designated as preparatory for the Ph.D. examinations (consult the Department of Mathematics graduate studies director).
To further encourage mathematical breadth, students must earn at least 33 s.h. of graduate credit in regular courses equivalent to or more advanced than Ph.D. comprehensive examination preparatory courses. For a list of accepted Department of Mathematics courses and rules to ensure proper distribution, contact the department.
