Some advice
At a minimum, students should have had at least one year of Abstract Algebra and
one year of Analysis (real and complex) in their undergraduate preparation. It is
helpful to list the textbooks used for these courses. Since our research is centered
around Number Theory/Representation Theory and Geometry/Topology, our aim is
to accept only those students with an interest in at least one of these areas. The
Statement of Purpose is a good place to describe this.
