Can you improve your math gre?

Looks to me like you need like two more years of undergrad courses (a year of algebra, a year of analysis, topology, other topics like complex analysis or PDEs or differential geometry). You've only got the first half of an undergrad pure math major completed and don't meet the prerequisites for most graduate level math courses at these schools.

Thank you for your help

Can you improve your math gre?

I definitely can. I only prepared for 3 weeks and didn't take any practice exams. It was the timing that through me off. Bad prep on my part.

Im going to look into taking these classes. Some of the programs have acceptations to this as long as you take them within the first semester.

I think you have more than a semester's worth of background to make up. You might look into post-baccalaureate programs in math first. Of Boston-area schools, I know Brandeis has one with a track for grad school preparation (a year of algebra, analysis, and electives): http://www.brandeis.edu/departments/mathematics/graduate/certificate.html If you're female, Smith College has an excellent (paid!) math post-bac: http://www.math.smith.edu/center/postbac.php

You are awesome.. Thank you for all of your help and advise

Definitely a higher GRE score. I'm really surprised you didn't get any higher than 158 considering your background.
