Comprehensive exams
These courses are meant to help the student prepare for the Comprehensive Exams. The minimum course requirement in the first year is two courses per semester. A student may choose to write a comprehensive exam in a subject with/without crediting the corresponding course. Students also have the option of auditing a course, if the course instructor agrees. The syllabi for the comprehensive exams are given below. Please note that even if your course instructor covers additional topics, the syllabi is fixed for the comprehensive exams.
Syllabi for comprehensive exams: Algebra, Analysis, Discrete Mathematics, Probability, Topology.
