Math gre Definition and 88 Threads

Ok so I have a degree in math. I'm pretty sure I'll get above average on the GRE math section. But I want to get a perfect. What are the best sources to get a perfect score? I tried reading princeton review, but they mostly give me common sense type questions. Are there any books that gives me a...

I am taking the Math Subject GRE on Saturday and finding study materials has been nothing short of a major pain. Maybe we should compile all of the study materials we have found into one central location here. I'll start: http://www.math.ucla.edu/~cmarshak/GREWorkshop.html Feel free to...

Hey all, So I took the General GRE, and I did rather poorly in the GRE Quant score (161). However, most of my resume and the likes would point otherwise (typical stuff like graduate coursework, two REUs, 3.9 GPA, etc.) How concerned should I be about this? Should I retake it? I'm taking...

Are you expected to know all of the trig formulas for the math gre subject test? I don't mean the easy ones, i mean ones such as the sum-to-product or product-to-sum. thanks!

I have the princeton review book, and i plan on going through a calculus web tutorial online(mainly for calc 3 stuff). My school library has some pretty good books on algebra/analysis. What other kind of books should i be thinking about getting in order to do well on the test? Also, what...

I was wondering: What textbooks have everyone found useful in prepping for the subject GRE? Are there any textbooks particularly helpful in prepping for the subject GRE and if so, which chapters of the texts should be gone through when prepping for the exam? I was thinking of using Stewart to...

OK, so I have a solid year+ to prepare for the math GRE subject test. It's pretty intimidating because I don't know where to begin studying. Does anyone know of a good game plan to approach this test with? If you've taken the test, please share how you prepped for it.

Hey guys, first post. I graduated with a AB in Econ with a 3.8 from an Ivy League and would really like to get into a math Masters program - preferably applied/computing oriented But my math background is sophmore level - all the Calcs, Linear Algebra, 5 stats courses, and the typical...

I've been doing practice exams today for fun (I'm only in 3rd year, go to school in Canada, and have no real intent on going to graduate school in the USA; so there really isn't a reason to be practicing them considering I don't think I'm going to be required to take them). Each time giving...

I was planning to skip fields, Lebesque measures/integration and complex analysis. Can someone who's given the test tell me how important these topics are? (I haven't looked at any practice tests yet) I haven't done this stuff in college yet so understanding them will take quite an effort on my...

Homework Statement You have a parallelogram ABCD. You know one side has a length of 12. They have given a right triangle extended from one side of the parallelogram height 4 and base 2 hypotenuse is the side of the parallelogram. There is a diagonal that goes from A to C that they want...

Homework Statement So far, I've encountered two symbols on the GRE practice tests which are unknown to me. The first is a number in a square, like a telephone key The second is a number with upside-down "L's" next to it What do these mean?

Hello,I'm sure this topic has been discussed in the past, but I couldn't search the forum with the word "GRE". Here is my story, I don't even know if I want or am going to take the GRE Math Subject test. The thing is that I applied to a few top financial engineering programs and I was either...

I'm applying for grad schools this fall, in physics and applied math. For the applied math, I would like to apply to programs that combine pure and applied math, rather than just separate applied math programs. But since I decided to apply to grad schools just a couple months ago, I registered...

I just realized I won't have the chance to take a class in differential equations before I have to submit my math graduate school applications, so there's no way I'll have the class beforehand. I've taken pretty much every other topic mentioned, and will review heavily on the calculus (it's been...

So this isn't a homework problem I suppose, but this seems to be the best place to post. I've been going through the online math subject GRE, trying to first identify what field of math I will need to solve the problem, then figuring out how to solve them. However, the test covers a wide range...

I scored a 700 mainly due to lack of speed and being stumped by 1-3 relatively difficult questions on number theory - the rest is due to genuine lack of facility in math. Most preparation materials don't include the more difficult questions. I have 10 days, on vacation, to prepare. This is my...

I've noticed this is more geared toward someone who did a pure math concentration for their B.Sc. I'm major in Applied Math and would like to pursue graduate school but haven't and don't really have much interested in taking classes in abstract algebra or statistics. Are these things considered...

Hi everyone, I am currently double majoring in math and astrophysics and am hoping to pursue a Ph.D in theoretical astrophysics after my undergraduate career. I am planning on taking the Physics GRE (of course), but was wondering if it would be beneficial to also take the math GRE. Would...

I won't be able to take a course in topology before I have to take the mathematics subject test of the GRE. I have the Princeton Review guide, but I'm looking for a little stronger of a foundation. Is there a good book introductory book for this purpose? If so, what sections should I read?

Problem 51 from GRE math test practice book or test form code: GR0568 The problem is as follows (ps. I'm sorry, I do not have LaTeX or something) If |_ x _| denotes the greatest integer not exceeding x, then 'the integral from zero to infinity' of |_ x _| * e ^ (-x) dx = ? The answer...

Hia, This being my first post here, I would like to give a short introduction. I am 24 and preparing for the GRE so that I can get into graduate school, I ultimately want a Phd in Artificial Intelligence. So to reach my goal, this GRE has to be taken, and taken soon. Maths is sure of high...

This is from the practice Math Subject GRE 0568, problem 44. Homework Statement A fair coin is to be tossed 100 times, with each toss resulting in a head or a tail. If H is total the number of heads and T is the total number of tails, which of the following events has the greatest...

Hello, I graduated 10 yrs ago with a BA in Math from a US liberal arts college. I am looking to go back to do my Masters (preferably in Applied Math) in Math. I am undecided as to whether I should take the GRE Math test. There are some universities whose Math programs I like but they require...

I am taking the Math GRE subject test this Spring and I am quite scared of it. Does anyone know of a calculus textbook with particularly difficult problems that would help me study for it? How should I prepare for it in addition to taking practice tests and studying the Princeton review book? I...

Ok, so next year I should be taking the GRE. I was wondering what advice you guys would have when preparing for it? Like what courses should I definitely make sure I have a good background in?

First of all, I hope I'm posting this in the appropriate forum and let me know if I'm not. I did pretty okay on this practice test, but I never took complex analysis, though I've tried to teach myself the rudiments. Maybe that's not even the problem, but this seems kind of basic, something I...

1) For all positive functions f and g of the real variable x, let ~ be the relation defined by: f ~ g iff (if and only if) lim x --> (infinity) \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = 1. Which of the following is NOT a consequence of f~g? A. f^2 ~ g^2 B. sqrt(f) ~ sqrt(g) C. e^f ~ e^g (e as in the natural...

Gre Math Subject Test Advice! Please! Hi everyone, I just posted a thread before but I am interested in asking this as well. I'm sure some have taken the GRE MATH subject exam. I want to take it but I believe I am lacking in some classes like, analysis, topology, and complex variables as...

Has anyone done this? I'm a physics major and I'd like to pursue a degree in mathematical physics. I guess that physics GRE is expected from me as a physics student, although actually I feel much more comfortable in math. Do you think that it would be hard to make both? Would it make me...

I will be taking the GRE Math subject test this next Fall and I need to start preparing for it this summer... I have been looking around on the internet and it seems like there's very few practice tests available. Has anyone else prepared for this test and can give me some advice on how to...

Who took the GRE Subject Math Test ?? I am going to take the GRE Math next Saturday, I would like to ask you .. Did the practice test posted in the ETS site resemble well the real test you have took ? Is it more difficult or less .. ? Did the Princeton review ( Cracking the GRE Math)...

First off, I'm not sure whether this should be in the homework section since it's not homework, but this seems the best place to get help with it. If it should be moved, please feel free to do so. These are a few problems I had with one of the GRE practice exams (from one of the Practicing to...

Have RARE GRE Math SUBJECT Practice Tests? Does anyone have any of the rare practice tests for the GRE math SUBJECT exam? NOT the ones that are currently being sold in bookstores (the Princeton Review and REA ones). I learned online that there are several practice tests that are no longer in...

Hello all. I'm an international student, and I need some advice or ideas, something. I received my GRE math subject scores for October, got 99% (900 raw, out of 990 I suppose). Is that high enough for being competitive at top institutions (Princeton, MIT, Berkeley, ...)? What else do you...

I am an Italian graduate in Mathematical Engineering (with a converted 3.97 GPA, 4.00 GPA in Math courses), and I am willing to pursue a PhD degree in pure mathematics. Since I had very good GRE and toefl scores (720 V - 800 Q - 4.5 A for the GRE, 115/120 Toefl), I have good recommenders, and...

GRE Math subject exam Prep-- Pre-calc For those of you who are preping, or have taken it already, what did you use to prep for the pre-calc section of the GRE subject exam in math?

I just took the GRE math subject exam and it is safe to say I bombed it. I especially bombed it because a great score would've solidified by GPA along with my 3 letters from 3 professors I have done research under. A lot of people have been telling me it's not terribly important, but I have...
