PhD theses from the department of Mathematics - University.
Graduate students are admitted to the Field of Applied Mathematics from a variety of educational backgrounds that have a strong mathematics component. Generally, only students who wish to become candidates for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree are considered.
Holders of a good Bachelor degree (from 75% to 85% depending upon the university in Taiwan) from a recognised institution will be considered for postgraduate Masters study. Holders of a good Masters degree from a recognised institution will be considered for PhD study.
Typically, work on the thesis itself takes 12-18 months. Therefore, depending on your background, it can take four to six years to obtain both the M.S. and the Ph.D. degree. Joint Program Examinations. Every student planning to earn the PhD in Applied Mathematics must pass the two Joint Program Examinations. One exam covers real analysis.
PhD students complete an independent research project under the guidance of a supervisory team. The research is normally completed over a maximum period of 3.0-3.5 years (full-time) or 6.0-6.5 years (part-time). A fourth year (full-time) or seventh year (part-time) or the remaining part of this can be used to prepare the thesis for examination.
Core requirements: All candidates for the Ph.D. in applied mathematics are required to take five, three-credit-hour core courses; and complete each of these core courses with a final grade of B or better. The five core courses for the Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics are. 1. Advanced Linear Algebra (Math 5023) 2. Real Analysis I (MATH 5143) 3.
For some of the available areas of possible PhD research see the current Applied Mathematics research areas. For more details about specific projects, please contact the relevant individual members of staff or get in touch with the Applied Mathematics Postgraduate Admissions Tutor.
