- Dear Colleague:
-
- I am writing to you on behalf of our Department to ask for your
- assistance in reaching potential graduate students. The information
- below gives a brief description of our Graduate Program, to which I
- would like to add a few words.
-
- Although our Department is small it provides many of the amenities
- of a larger department. We offer a full range of graduate courses
- leading to the Master's and Ph.D. degrees in pure and applied
- mathematics. Our faculty's research interests are varied, providing
- a good choice of dissertation topics. We have a state of the art
- Sun computer network, a first class mathematics collection in the
- University library, and a stimulating series of colloquia and
- seminars.
-
- Students who pursue graduate work in our department will find an
- environment which offers the kind of individual attention not often
- found in larger departments. Each entering student is assigned a
- faculty member to serve as mentor during the first few years
- preceding the selection of a dissertation advisor. The mentor and
- the student meet on a regular basis to discuss the student's
- experiences and progress in the program.
-
- Our graduate program has a long history of producing Ph.D. and
- Master's graduates who have gone on to successful careers.
- Recently, the University has awarded us additional Graduate
- Teaching Assistantships, which will effectively double the size of
- our graduate program. We are now actively seeking good students to
- fill these new positions. The Teaching Assistantship package
- includes full tuition credits, a stipend, and additional support in
- exchange for certain teaching duties, including teaching
- recitations and working in our ``Math Lab.'' Interested graduate
- students often have the opportunity to teach summer school.
-
- We hope that you will mention our graduate program to promising
- students who are considering graduate work in mathematics. The
- next application deadline is February 15, 1993. Please call or
- write to us if we can answer any questions about graduate study at
- The George Washington University. Should you or your students have
- the opportunity to visit our Department, we would be delighted to
- welcome you.
-
- Sincerely yours,
- E. Arthur (Robbie) Robinson

- Excerpts from our brochure:
-
- Programs of Study:
-
- The Department of Mathematics offers programs of advanced study and
- research leading to the degrees of Master of Arts, Master of Science
- and Doctor of Philosophy.
-
- Research Facilities:
-
- The George Washington University Library collection, which includes
- over 200 mathematics-related journals, is excellent for advanced
- study and research. Other mathematical research libraries in the area
- are also available to students.
-
- Students have access to the Department's computing system consisting
- of 3 Sun SPARCstation 1+ machines, PC's linked to the Suns, and state
- of the art mathematical research software. Access to computer systems
- outside the Department is available via edunet. The University has a
- modern computing center, including classrooms equipped with
- microcomputers.
-
- The Area:
-
- The University is located in the District of Columbia, four blocks
- west of the White House. Its proximity to numerous research
- laboratories, government agencies, and national museums offers
- students a variety of educational, professional, and cultural
- opportunities.
-
- Financial Aid:
-
- Graduate study in mathematics is supported by teaching assistantships
- and University fellowships. Applicants interested in financial aid are
- encouraged to apply early. For interested mathematics graduate
- students, the research laboratories and companies located in the
- Washington metropolitan area offer excellent job opportunities.
