Introduction The graduate program in mathematics at the University of Connecticut offers high quality educational and research opportunities in a rural setting with easy access to the rest of the Northeast. The University campus at Storrs is the major public institution of higher education in the state of Connecticut. Additionally, the University has been rated as the top public university in New England by national publications. We have a relatively small and selective graduate program. We usually have about 300 well-qualified applicants, and offer admission to fewer than 20%. As a medium-sized state university, we offer more individualized and personal attention to students than is common at larger institutions. The Mathematics Department maintains a strong commitment to research in both pure and applied mathematics. Our graduate faculty are involved in several interdisciplinary activities, which include: the Virtual Cell Project at the UConn Health Center, joint work with the departments of Computer Science and Engineering, Physics, Statistics, Marine Sciences, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and the School of Education (in particular the Teachers for a New Era initiative). In addition to the faculty, our graduate students benefit substantially from the presence of postdoctoral fellows in the department. The department maintains numerous personal computers, a network of Apple workstations, a Power Macintosh laboratory and a Graphics Laboratory in addition to providing access to both local small supercomputers and the National Science Foundation super-computation centers. Interested and qualified graduate students can gain access to these facilities. Since the University lies at the geographic center for the most active intellectual, cultural and recreational centers in the country, the opportunities for study and recreation are vast. Seminars with participants from The University of Connecticut and Boston University, Brown, MIT, Tufts, UMass Amherst, Wesleyan, WPI, and Yale meet on a regular basis. In addition to a rich and varied cultural life on campus, the main cultural centers of New England and New York are close at hand.
