The new Part 2 is designed to help us keep more accurate records and to help you maintain a clear idea of how well you are advancing towards your goal of a doctorate in mathematics. The forms are due no later than January 18, 2008. [posted 12/07]

Lunch Program

One of the great advantages of large active department such as ours is that it gets a steady stream of noteworthy visitors. These visitors present an opportunity that should be exploited to the full. An easy way to do so is by joining in social events such as lunches and dinners that are planned around such visitors. To encourage you to do this, the Graduate Office is now offering to pay for your meal. (Well not quite: we'll subsidize up to $8's worth). We have designed a handsome (and informative) lunch voucher for this purpose. Click for details of the program and how to obtain a voucher. [posted 9/8/05]
