数学哲学博士

授予博士学位的不仅在于完成规定的学习课程，还在于清楚地证明其学术成就和数学方面的原始研究能力。博士生可以计划传统的数学学习计划（数学方向）或面向应用数学的学习计划（应用数学方向）。无论哪种情况，每个学生都必须修满36个学分的获批课程，平均成绩为B或更高。根据研究生委员会的决定，对于进入与我们的课程兼容的数学课程的硕士学位的学生，此要求减少到18个学时的认可课程。传统数学课程的学生必须证明自己对代数，分析（实际和复杂）和拓扑的基本概念和技术。这包括参加三个基本领域的所有课程，并成功完成代数和分析的资格考试。
The doctorate is conferred not merely upon completion of a stipulated course of study, but rather upon clear demonstration of scholarly attainment and capability of original research work in mathematics. A doctoral student may plan either a traditional program of studies in mathematics (mathematics track) or a program of studies oriented toward applied mathematics (applied mathematics track). In either case, each student must take 36 credit hours of approved courses with a grade average of B or better. For students entering with a master's degree in a mathematical subject compatible with our program, as determined by the graduate committee, this requirement is reduced to 18 credit hours of approved courses.A student in the traditional mathematics program must demonstrate knowledge of the basic concepts and techniques of algebra, analysis (real and complex), and topology. This includes taking all courses in the three basic areas, and successfully completing qualifying examinations in algebra and analysis.
