The Preliminary Examination is designed to assess
the entering student’s mastery of the foundations of the undergraduate
mathematics curriculum, especially linear algebra and advanced calculus,
and is used mainly for placement purposes. The exam is administered
during Orientation Week before the Fall semester, and for students
placed in MATH 7900 (Foundations for Graduate Mathematics) in the
Fall semester, there is a follow-up exam during the Spring semester.
Low performance on the follow-up exam will never be used as the
sole basis for cutting a student from the graduate program. An initial
sample of the Preliminary Exam and all the subsequent exams are
posted below.
