What Alumni Say About Our Master’s in Math Programs

 

ASU’s master’s in mathematics program allowed me to explore advanced mathematics through a variety of topics with very knowledgeable professors. I still think about concepts from my time in classes like Fundamentals of Modern Algebra and Operations Research. Even though writing a thesis in mathematics is a daunting task, my thesis advisor, Dr. Roush, was there to guide me in many aspects of mathematical writing and in the field of undecidable integrals, so that I could successfully defend my thesis.
