Dear Colleague,

The Ohio State Graduate Program in Mathematics is inviting applications to both its Ph.D. and M.M.S. degree programs. Please find below information about new developments that may interesting to your students.

We would greatly appreciate if you could forward this email and information to interested undergraduate and masters students in mathematics, as well as their advisors, counselors, faculty mentors, and any other personnel involved with the guidance of undergraduate and masters students at your department. For more detailed application and specific program information please see:

http://www.math.osu.edu/grad

1.            Application Fee only Five Dollars（$5）for all students for all mathematics graduate degrees. Students from underrepresented minorities may have this fee also waived upon inquiry.

2.            Full Stipend & Tuition Support is offered to all incoming graduate students for both the Ph.D. and M.M.S. degrees either through teaching associateships or, for qualified applicants, in the form of university fellowships.

3.            Doctor of Philosophy（Ph.D.）:

Our research program has broadened significantly in exciting new directions through numerous new faculty hires in the past years. The latest additions include faculty with interdisciplinary research, such as probabilistic topology, geometric data analysis, and mathematical biology, as well as new hires in combinatorics and computational number theory. In recent years the department has also built strong groups and initiatives in mathematical biology, algebraic geometry, and complex analysis, as well as around the interface of our traditional strengths in number theory and ergodic theory.

These expansions of our research focus add to a wide representation of virtually every area of mathematics by nearly 90 graduate faculty in mathematics, encompassing also logic, algebra, analysis, differential equations, differential geometry, geometric group theory, and geometric topology.

Post-doctoral job placements of many of our PhD graduates in the past five years include competitive positions at Princeton University, Institute for Advanced Study, University of Chicago, Yale, Cal-Tech, Rutgers, University of Michigan, and top-institutions abroad.

document, and more detailed research and contact information about our faculty on our

Graduate Faculty List.

4.            Master of Mathematical Sciences（M.M.S.）:

The M.M.S. is a two-year, terminal degree program with emphasis on practical, interdisciplinary work. Students apply to one of the specializations, in each of which they will collaborate with faculty from partnering units and departments on campus on summer projects and thesis research. Graduates find employment in related public and private sectors, or admission to applied doctoral programs. We plan to recruit up to 6 qualified students for each track per year.

1.            Mathematical Biology:

This degree track is co-sponsored by the NSF Mathematical Biosciences Institute at OSU. Research and thesis projects are in collaboration, among others, with the OSU departments of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology , Molecular Genetics , and Microbiology , the Stone Laboratory（Lake Erie）, as well as various research units of the OSU Medical School .

2.            Mathematics for Educators:

This degree track serves students with interest in the teaching and, more broadly, the communication of mathematics. The curriculum emphasizes a thorough background in core areas of mathematics as well as courses specially designed in collaboration with the OSU Department of Teaching and Learning . Collaborating units for projects have included, besides the Department Teaching & Learning, the Mathematics & Statistics Learning Center（MSLC）, OSU's Massive Open Online Courses（MOOC）and similar e-Learning development teams, as well as the departments of Linguistics and Economics . 

3.            Computational Sciences:

This specialization represents the third track in our M.M.S. degree program, and provides the mathematical training and background in related fields required in a wide range of computational applications. Interdisciplinary practical projects and theses are designed and carried out in collaborations with the numerous engineering and physical science departments on campus.

Please link to our detailed Application Instructions for guidance and information. For full consideration please submit complete applications by

December 15^th , 2014 .

We will continue to consider application arriving after this deadline and include them in the review process. However, screening for the first rounds will start shortly after the deadline and the first batch of doctoral admission is expected by mid January. Admissions to the Ph.D. and M.M.S. programs are expected to continue through all of February and we will maintain wait-lists until the end of admission season. You can download the PDF-file of our Graduate Program Poster or contact us if you would like to have a hard-copy sent to you.

Thank you for your help getting this information to mathematics students at your school. Please, feel free to contact us with any questions at this email address.
