  1. These are one semester courses. I will be taking comprehensive exams this Christmas in Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, Real Analysis, and Topology. Consequently, I expect to have a strong background in each of these subjects.
  2. Thanks for the responses guys! I am scheduled to take the subject GRE this fall as I did not need it for entrance into my current graduate program. As to the algebra courses, I have unfortunately already completed the highest level of courses at my university (as I said it is a very applied university). The two algebra courses I have listed under the graduate study are our graduate versions. I completed all of the equivalent undergrad sequences while completing my bachelor's.
  3. I am applying for a Pure Math PhD for Fall 2013. I am currently in a Pure Master's program at my undergrad institution and should graduate May 2013 (assuming all goes well of course!). My Bachelor's is in Pure Math and I am a white female student. My GRE scores are V 610 (88%), Q 800 (94%), and Writing 4.5 (67%). As a graduate student I have already taken: Intro to Real Analysis (Pugh/Rudin) [A] Topology (Munkres) [b, retaking for an A this fall] Advanced Linear Algebra (Axler) [A] Abstract Algebra (Lanski, studying Dummit and Foote for comp exam) [b+] Complex Analysis (undergrad level) (Matthews and Howell) [A] I will be taking: Measure Theory (Bartle) Topology (retaking) (Munkres) Numerical Linear Algebra and Optimization (undergrad level) (Kincaid) Complex Analysis (graduate level) Mathematical Statistics Numerical Solutions of Differential Equations (undergrad level) I have an undergrad research paper that has been accepted for publication this fall. It is an applied modelling paper, which unfortunately is not my area of interest. I have had my own precalculus class to teach for Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters, and feel very comfortable teaching (I really enjoy it). I think I would like to research more in to abstract algebra. My school is more focused on the applied and statistical areas so I have not had much in-depth exposure to the areas I would like to study more. I have not had any courses in number theory or graph theory and not very extensive courses in abstract algebra. As an undergrad, I was in Pi Mu Epsilon and Mortar Board. I took several years of French so I am not too worried about any language qualifiers. If anyone had suggestions on schools that they know of being more geared towards the algebras or that have a good breadth of research areas in pure mathematics it would be greatly appreciated. Here is a (very random) list of schools I am considering already: University of Kansas - Lawrence University of Minnesota - Twin Cities Penn State Dartmouth Purdue University of Nebraska - Lincoln University of Colorado - Boulder Thanks in advance for your help!
