This page is under construction. Many of the items are placeholders for information to be filled in. The page should be mostly correct by mid-March 2008, but changes will continue into the beginning of the semester. Send mail to grad-director@math.rutgers.edu to report errors or discrepancies.
This page contains the following information about the Fall 2008 semester:- A list of courses, with instructors, locations and times.
- A table showing courses by day and period.
- Some information about the start of the semester.
About the course list
Course number:
640 is the prefix for Pure Mathematics courses and 642 is the prefix
for Applied Mathematics courses. There is no distinction in
degree requirements for Mathematics and Applied Mathematics,
but we still use this numbering differentiation, which dates to the 1960's.
Index number:
This five digit number is needed to register for a course in the
Rutgers system.
Course name:
This is the official course name which is in the Rutgers system for
the course corresponding to the given course number. There may be
little relationship between this name and the course contents.
Instructor: Probably.
Place: Probable classroom.
HLL refers to Hill Center.
The Graduate Program and the Math Department control the use of only a
few (four) real classrooms. There are other spaces available which
have sometimes been used for class meetings.
Days, period; times: Probably.
Constraints on meeting times include times which should be
left free for faculty meetings, times left free for traditional
seminar meetings, and 8 AM. Most faculty and almost all graduate
students are quite unwilling to admit that 8 AM exists as a time for
intellectual converse. Note: monday=M, tuesday=T, wednesday=W,
thursday=Th, friday=F.
Warning: The "period" refers to the new Rutgers
80-minute period on Busch Campus: Period 1 begins at 8:40.
There are 20 minutes between periods.
