Doctor's degree Mathematics - Princeton University

Doctor's degree Mathematics from Princeton University is a Campus Ph.D Mathematics degree that prepares you for a Education career. Language exams: The student satisfies the language requirement by demonstrating to a member of the mathematics faculty a reasonable ability to read ordinary mathematical texts in at least two of the following three languages: French, German, and Russian. One language test must be passed before the end of the first year, and the second before completing the general examination. One-year residency: Students must be in residence for at least one academic year before standing for the general examination. If a student wishes to take his/her general examination during the first year, the earliest acceptable time is during the April/May exam period. General examination: The student must stand for an oral exam administered by a committee of three professors, including the advisor who serves as chair of the committee. A typical exam can last 2 to 3 hours. Areas covered are algebra, and real and complex variables. The student must also choose two (2) special or advanced topics. These two additional topics are expected to come from distinct major areas of mathematics, and the student's choice is subject to the approval of the Department. Usually in the second year, and sometimes even in the first, students begin investigations of their own that lead to the doctoral dissertation. For the student interested in mathematical physics, the general examination is adjusted to include mathematical physics as one of the two special topics. There are three general examination periods each academic year--October, January, and May. View more details on Princeton University .
