Exam Workshops
Departmental exams for the Fall Quarter will take place on Tuesday,
September 25, 2007. Exam times and locations will be announced later.
As part of the VIGRE program at UC Davis, we conduct review and problem-
solving workshops aimed at helping students get ready for the graduate
preliminary exams. All students are welcome to participate, though it
will be particularly useful for entering students in both the
Mathematics and GGAM programs, and for first-year students who have
not yet passed their written exams.
The following workshops will be taking place in
room 2112 of
the Mathematical Sciences Building:

Material covered
In the Mathematics Ph.D. program, the following description from the
departmental brochure covers the content of the Prelim exam: The
Ph.D. Preliminary Examination is a written exam, which comprises
graduate material in analysis and algebra, as covered in the
following five graduate courses:
201A,
201B,
201C,
250A, and
250B.
The exams also cover the prerequisites for these courses, namely
standard undergraduate material on analysis and algebra, as reflected
in the syllabus of
25 (PDF),
125A (PDF),
125B (PDF),
and
150A (PDF),
150B (PDF),
and
150C (PDF)
, as well as standard calculus
and linear algebra material from lower division mathematics.
The preliminary exam for the PhD in Applied Mathematics (GGAM) is a
written examination covering the material of
119A (PDF),
201A,
201B, and
201C.
