PhD in Mathematics in Columbia United States | University of Missouri

The Mathematics Graduate Program strikes an ideal balance, offering a broad spectrum of research areas and coursework while maintaining a personalized approach for each student. With around 60 graduate students, 40 faculty members, and various postdoctoral and visiting scholars, the program covers diverse research fields such as: algebraic geometry, real/complex/functional/harmonic analysis, analytic functions, applied mathematics, financial mathematics and actuarial science, commutative algebra, scattering theory, ordinary/partial differential equations, differential geometry, dynamical systems, general relativity, mathematical physics, number theory, representation theory, probabilistic analysis, and topology.

To ensure consistency and enrollment in foundational graduate courses, we maintain a fixed Fall/Spring schedule for core offerings. Specialized graduate courses may follow more flexible scheduling.

Advanced graduate courses fall into three categories:

Topics courses (identified by "Topics" in the title). Sample courses: 8102, 8302, ...
Seminar courses (identified by "Seminar" in the title). Sample courses: 9187, 9287, ...
Other advanced courses (without "Topics" or "Seminar" in the title). Sample courses: 8642, 8680, 8629, 8670...
