The department held a webinar for prospective applicants on Friday, November 19, 3-4pm eastern. The recording is here: Mathematics Information Session – Zoom. The listing of questions and answers is available here: https://gauss.math.yale.edu/~il282/WebinarQA.csv. Presentation by Prof. Loseu is available here:  https://gauss.math.yale.edu/~il282/grad_presentation.pdf

Recognizing the significant disruptions due to the COVID-19 health crisis, the Mathematics Department has made the following changes to the admissions policy for the 21-22 cycle:

GRE Subject Test:        GRE Subject Test scores are OPTIONAL

The Math department views GRE Subject scores as a useful piece of information.  Therefore, we encourage the applicants to submit these test scores.   At the same time, the applicants who do not submit the GRE subject scores will not be disadvantaged – we will put more weight on the other elements of the application.

GRE General Test:     GRE General Test scores are OPTIONAL.  

TOEFL or IELTS:     Scores are REQUIRED (the link below contains answers to common questions on these exams).

Standardized Test Questions:     Yale Graduate School of Arts & Sciences

Application deadline is December 15th, 2021.

Office hours for prospective students. The DGS, Prof. Ivan Loseu, will hold virtual office hours for prospective students on Fridays, Oct 1, 15, 29, Nov 5, 26, Dec 10. The default time will be 2-3pm eastern, although students who cannot attend due to time difference or other reasons should feel free to request a different time.  Please email Prof. Loseu from your institutional email account to request a zoom link. Also on November 19, 3-4pm eastern, there will be a webinar for prospective students. Details are to be posted at the top of the page when they become available.

Program in Applied Mathematics. Note that there is a separate program in Applied Mathematics. Follow this link https://applied.math.yale.edu/graduate-program-0 for information about admissions, requirements, etc.

_{^{Welcome to the Yale graduate program in Mathematics.}}

The transition from mathematics student to working mathematician depends on ability, hard work and independence, but also on community. Yale’s graduate program provides an excellent environment for this, and we are proud of the talented students who come here and the leading faculty with whom they learn the profession.

In their first two years, students focus on building their general knowledge and passing the qualifying exams, but are also encouraged to use the time to think about their areas of interest, work together to explore them, and begin making connections with faculty advisors. There are few formal requirements and this flexibility allows students to develop independence, formulating and following their own goals.

Mathematics, while requiring intense individual focus, also thrives on collaborative work. Students form study groups and seminars together, and also benefit from our excellent cohort of Gibbs Assistant Professors and other Postdoctoral Fellows, who are a source of fresh mathematical perspectives and camaraderie.

Research, and the contribution of new ideas and results to the body of mathematical knowledge, naturally form the main focus of the next few years, and typically students complete their PhD by the end of the 5th (sometimes 6th) year. During this time they also get to know the faculty better, and continue building intellectual and personal connections, horizontally across the discipline and through time to our shared intellectual history and tradition.

Teaching is an important component of our profession, and the department provides support and training to graduate students. Teaching assignments proceed from individual coaching to classroom teaching, with careful mentoring provided by our dedicated team of lecturers.  The Lang Lunch Seminar, in the second year, provides in-depth training to graduate students before they begin to lecture.
