Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding suitable graduate schools and programs in mathematics, specifically focusing on Mathematical Logic and Algebraic Logic, and their applications to artificial intelligence. The inquiry includes considerations of theoretical and mathematical perspectives, as well as personal interests in various math subjects.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses interest in studying Mathematical Logic and Algebraic Logic, particularly in relation to artificial intelligence, and seeks recommendations for graduate programs.
  • Another participant inquires about geographical preferences for the graduate programs.
  • A participant suggests that the United States is preferred, with Canada as a secondary option.
  • There is a discussion about the realism of applying to top-tier programs like Princeton, MIT, or Harvard, with a note on the reliability of rankings by subfield.
  • The original poster mentions considering top programs but is also open to less competitive options.
  • One participant asks about academic scores and GPA to gauge competitiveness for graduate school applications.
  • The original poster shares a GPA of 3.9 and mentions preparing for the GRE, indicating they are in their junior year of undergraduate studies.
  • Another participant reassures that maintaining a high GPA will be beneficial and notes that many strong graduate programs are not limited to Ivy League schools, emphasizing the importance of researching program strengths.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the importance of GPA and program strengths, but there are varying opinions on the desirability and accessibility of top-tier programs versus other options. The discussion remains unresolved regarding specific program recommendations.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not specify particular mathematical prerequisites or the specific nature of the desired programs, leaving some assumptions about the original poster's background and future academic plans unaddressed.

Hello everyone, I am soon going to look into graduate schools in mathematics. One area I would really like to study is Mathematical Logic and/or Algebraic Logic, but mostly their part in the application to artificial intelligence (mostly like strong ai/consciousness). And I mean this from the theoretical and mathematical perspective, though I hope to some time take up learning at least some basic computer science on my own (though I would like to stay within mathematics). Part of the reason I am asking for such a program is that I generally enjoy all most all math subjects equally, so I am just narrowing it down into fields with what I think have the most interesting applications, on top of logic/set theory/algebraic logic just being really cool. Can anyone help me find such a grad school and program? Thanks in advance for any response.

Any restrictions on which part of the world?
 
Hopefully within the United States, and if not, Canada (really would prefer U.S. though)
 
What kind of programs do you think are realistic? Do you want to apply to places like Princeton, MIT or Harvard? The top programs are all pretty well balanced. There are rankings by subfield in U.S news but those are probably not too reliable.
 
I was considering applying to those places anyways, but maybe something perhaps not as strict to get into as the ivy leagues.
 
What are your scores? and if you have one a GPA?
 
I have 3.9 GPA, taking the gre some time soon. Don't know when I'm just started junior year.
 
Ok cool if you can maintain that GPA that will definitely help you. So I'm assuming your in your 3rd year of undergrad based on the fact your looking for a good grad school. Anyways not all the best grad schools belong to the ivy league group, also, most grad schools will specify there strengths, it just takes some digging!
