This is the second semester of a two semester sequence for the purpose of the completion of a Distinguished Major Thesis. A faculty member guides the student through all phases of the process which culminates in an open presentation of the thesis to an audience including a faculty evaluation committee. Prerequisite: MATH 4900.

Reading and study programs in areas of interest to individual students. For third- and fourth-years interested in topics not covered in regular courses. Students must obtain a faculty advisor to approve and direct the program.

Development of mathematical models and their solutions, including linear programming, the simplex algorithm, dual programming, parametric programming, integer programming, transportation models, assignment models, and network analysis. Prerequisites: MATH 1320, 3351 and a proof-based course (3000, 3310 or 3354).

A rigorous program of supervised study designed to expose the student to a particular area of mathematics. Prerequisite: Instructor permission and graduate standing.

Discussion of issues related to the practice of teaching, pedagogical concerns in college level mathematics, and aspects of the responsibilities of a professional mathematician. Credits may not be used towards a Master's degree. Prerequisite: Graduate standing in mathematics.

This seminar discusses the issues related to research in Mathematics. There are speakers from the different areas of mathematics represented at the University of Virginia. Credit may not be used towards a Master's degree. Prerequisite: Graduate standing in mathematics.

Covers topics in first order logic and model theory.

Rigorous introduction to probability, using techniques of measure theory. Includes limit theorems, martingales, and stochastic processes. Prerequisite: 7310 or equivalent.

Studies the basic principles of linear analysis, including spectral theory of compact and selfadjoint operators. Prerequisite: MATH 7340 and 7310, or equivalent.

Examines categories, functors, abelian catqegories, limits and colimits, chain complexes, homology and cohomology, homological dimension, derived functors, Tor and Ext, group homology, Lie algebra homology, spectral sequences, and calculations. Prerequisite: MATH 5770.
