I don't know if they'd be helpful because I don't know anything about applied math :P. You should check out the websites of some applied math grad programs and see what they expect you to know. Ah so that's why you're looking at doing analysis again. By all means, go for it. However, I don't...

Why do you have complex analysis in the "Applied" grouping? Anyways, if you already took Real analysis I don't see much point in taking it again. You're going to want to have seen Real, Complex, Algebra, and Topology before you graduate so I recommend you go for two (or three :P) of those...

Hang in there Jason! A lot of the schools you listed on the first page haven't even started contacting yet.

Also really anxious to hear back from UT-Austin. It's my top choice.

eok, this is for math fyi. It is on the website. They haven't contacted me. The letter offers no hint as to whether or not all offers are out. However, there's only one reported offer (not posted by me) on gradcafe so I doubt they are all out.

So far I've heard back from Nebraska, Berkeley, and UCSB. shaggymoods, when do you believe UT Austin starts sending out admissions?

I (undergrad) went to the JMM this year as well to present a poster. I'll echo what Jeff said. Overall, it was quite fun. No matter your interests, you should be able to find a session of talks about something intriguing. However, understanding the talks may be another matter all together. I...

Words of wisdom.

Nice list. Best of luck to you.

Ya, the first encounter with proofs is difficult for some people. From my experiences most of the difficulties fall in one of three areas: 1) The mathematics involved. If you don't understand the math, you aren't going to be able to put together arguments about it. 2) Logic. You need to...

I've also applied for fall 2009 admission to math PhD programs. My stuff is also all sent out, so it's the waiting game for me as well. *EDIT: Jason's paranoia rubbed off on me. Interested in: Mainly algebra. Applying to: Washington, Oregon, Berkeley, UCLA, Ohio State, UIUC, UCSB, UCSD...

A few questions for you! What kind of math have you taken? And what kind of math are you interested in? (I don't know much... well hardly any physics so "math in GR" means nothing to me ;) )

What is this list for?

I meant to say " A_{2n} has a subgroup that is trivially isomorphic to S_n" :redface:

Right, A_{2n} is trivially isomorphic to S_n. Even more trivially, S_{n+k} has plenty of subgroups isomorphic to S_n for all k\geq 1. Continuing, so does S_n \times G for any group G... etc. You can construct as many as you like which is why I (and probably adriank as well) am confused by this...
