| Description: | The main thrust of the Ph.D. program is original research done under the supervision of a faculty member. Students choose a supervisor some time during their first year of study. Until then, the mathematics graduate advisor serves as an interim supervisor. The criteria for choosing a supervisor vary, but shared research interests play the decisive role. Students come into contact with faculty members in the academic setting of graduate courses, research seminars, and advanced workshops. Students can become more acquainted with faculty in less formal settings of weekly teas (before Colloquium talks) and social gatherings at the University Club (after Colloquium talks), and other departmental get togethers. |
