Undergraduate Concentration
As our society becomes moretechnological, it is more affected by mathematics. Quite sophisticatedmathematics is now central to the natural sciences, to ecologicalissues, to economics, and to our commercial and technical life.A student who takes such general level courses as Math 5, 8, 10,15, or 20 will better understand the world and be prepared toact in it.
Mathematics is, at the sametime, a subject of the greatest depth and beauty with a historyextending from antiquity. The department attempts to make thisdepth and beauty manifest. The undergraduate major program introducesstudents to some fundamental fields--algebra, real and complexanalysis, geometry, and topology--and to the habit of mathematicalthought. Mathematics concentrators may go on to graduate school,scientific research, or mathematics teaching, but many choosethe major for its inherent interest with unrelated career intentions.
Graduate Program in Mathematics
The graduate program in mathematicsis designed primarily to lead to the Doctor of Philosophy degree.The formal course work gives the student a broad foundation forwork in modern pure mathematics. An essential part of the programconsists of seminars on a variety of topics of current interestin which mathematicians from Greater Boston often participate.In addition, the Brandeis-Harvard-MIT-Northeastern MathematicsColloquium gives the student an opportunity to hear the currentwork of eminent mathematicians from all over the world.
Students who enjoy mathematicsare urged to consider concentrating in it; Brandeis offers a widevariety of mathematics courses, and concentrators will have thebenefits of small classes and individual faculty attention. Tobecome a concentrator a student should have completed either MATH15 and 20, MATH 21a, b, or MATH 22a, b by the end of the sophomoreyear--these courses are prerequisites to the higher level offerings.Therefore, it is important for students to start calculus andlinear algebra (MATH 10, 15, 20, 21, or 22) in the first year.
The general requirements foradmission to graduate work in mathematics are the same as thosefor the Graduate School as a whole. The department has availablea variety of fellowships and scholarships for well-qualified students.To be considered for such financial support the student shouldsubmit an application by February 15.

The honors courses are MATH30a, 30b, 32a, 34a, 38b, 40a, 40b, 45a, and all MATH courses numbered100 or higher.
Teacher Preparation Track
Students who complete the Brandeisprogram for Massachusetts High School Teacher Certification (seesection on Education Program in this Bulletin) may earna bachelor's degree in mathematics by satisfying concentrationrequirements A, B, C, and D above and the following:
E.MATH 8a or 36a.
F.Two additional courses, either MATH courses numbered 27 or higheror cross-listed courses.
G.A computer science course numbered 10 or higher.
H.Completion of the High School Teacher Certification Program.
Combined B.A./M.S. Program
Undergraduate students areeligible for the B.A./M.S. program in mathematics if they havecompleted MATH 101a,b; 110a, 111a,b, and 121 a,b with a gradeof B- or better, and demonstrated a reading knowledge of mathematicalFrench, German, or Russian. No more than three of these courses,however, may be counted towards the concentration. In addition,students must fulfill a minimum of three years' residence on campus.A student must make formal written application for admission tothis program on forms available at the Graduate School office.This must be done no later than May 1 preceding his/her finalyear of study on campus.
A.MATH 21a, 22a, or 15a; MATH 21b, 22b, or 20a.
B.Three additional semester courses, either MATH courses numbered27 or higher or cross-listed courses.
Students interested in analysis,physics, or applied mathematics are advised to choose additionalcourses from among MATH 35a, 35b, 36a, 36b, 37a, and 45a. Studentsinterested in algebra or computer science are advised to considerMATH 28a, 28b, 30a, 30b, and 38b. With permission of the UndergraduateMathematics Advisor, courses taken in other Brandeis departmentsor taken at other universities may be substituted for mathematicscourses required for the minor.
A.With permission of the Undergraduate Mathematics Advisor, coursestaken in other Brandeis departments or taken at other universitiesmay be substituted for required mathematics courses. A grade ofC or better is required in courses satisfying the field of concentrationrequirements.
B.Students who intend to take mathematics courses numbered 10 orhigher should take the departmental placement exam. On the basisof the exam, recommendations are made placing students out ofthe first year of calculus or into MATH 5a, 10a, or 10b. Studentsreceiving a score of 5 on the advanced placement MATH AB examor a score of 4 or more on the MATH BC exam place out of the first-yearcalculus sequence. Students receiving a score of 4 on the MATHAB exam or a score of 3 on the MATH BC exam place out of firstsemester calculus. Such students must take the departmental placementexam if they wish to place out of second semester calculus. Questionsabout placement should be directed to the Elementary MathematicsCoordinator, or the undergraduate advising head.
C.The usual calculus sequence is MATH 10a, 10b, and 20a. Studentsmay precede this with MATH 5a. Many students also take MATH 15a(Applied Linear Algebra), which has MATH 5a (or placement outof MATH 5a) as a prerequisite.
D.A student may not receive credit for more than one of MATH 15a,21a, and 22a; or MATH 20a, 21b, and 22b. Students with a stronginterest in mathematics and science are encouraged to take MATH21a,b or 22a,b in place of MATH 15a and 20a. Similarly, a studentmay not receive credit for both MATH 28a and 30a, or for bothMATH 28b and 30b.
E.Students should normally take MATH 23b before taking upper levelcourses (i.e., those numbered above 23). For most students thismeans taking MATH 23b in the spring semester, concurrently withMATH 21b, MATH 22b, MATH 15a, or MATH 20a. A student may be exemptedfrom the requirement of taking Math 23b by satisfactory performanceon a placement exam. The placement exam is given in early November,in time for preenrollment.
F.Students interested in graduate school or a more intensive studyof mathematics are urged to include all of the following coursesin their program:
1. MATH 21a and b or 22a andb.
2. MATH 30a and b.
3. MATH 35a and b or 40a andb.
4. MATH 45a.
5. A course numbered 100 orhigher.
G.The following schedule determines course offerings in mathematics:
1. Offered every semester areMATH 5a, 10a and b, 15a, 20a.
2. Offered once each year areMATH 8a, 21a and 21b, 28a and b, 30a and b, 35a and b, 36a andb, 40a and b, 45a.
3. In addition, the followingsemester courses are usually offered according to the followingschedule where 0-1 indicates even-odd years (e.g., 1998-99) and1-0 indicates odd-even years (e.g., 1999-2000). Slashes distinguishbetween fall and spring semesters:
MATH 32a MATH 34a MATH 37a MATH 38b A.One year's residence as a full-time student. B.Successful completion of an approved schedule of courses. C.Satisfactory performance in examinations in algebra, analysis,topology, and geometric analysis. D.Proficiency in reading French, German, or Russian. Program of Study The normal first year of studyconsists of MATH 101a and b, 111a and b, and 121a and b. Withthe permission of the graduate advisor, a student with superiorpreparation may omit one or more of these courses and elect higherlevel courses instead. In this case the student must take an examinationin the equivalent material during the first two weeks of the course.The second year's work will normally consist of MATH 110a andhigher level courses in addition to preparation for the qualifyingexaminations described below and participation in the second-yearseminar. Upon completion of the qualifying examinations, the studentwill choose a dissertation advisor and begin work on a thesis.This should be accompanied by advanced courses and seminars. Residence Requirement The minimum residence requirementis three years. Language Requirement Proficiency in reading oneof French, German, or Russian, and one other language (besidesEnglish) determined with the consent of the advisor. Qualifying Examination The qualifying examinationconsists of two parts: a major examination and a minor examination.Both are normally taken in the latter part of the second yearbut may occasionally be postponed until early in the third year.For the major examination, the student will choose a limited areaof mathematics (e.g., differential topology, several complex variables,or ring theory) and a major examiner from among the faculty. Togetherthey will plan a program of study and a subsequent examinationin that material. The aim of this study is to prepare the studentfor research towards the Ph.D. The minor examination will be morelimited in scope and less advanced in content. The proceduresare similar to those for the major examination, but its subjectmatter should be significantly different from that of the majorexamination. Dissertation and Defense The doctoral degree will beawarded only after the submission and acceptance of an approveddissertation and the successful defense of that dissertation.
