***********DEADLINE IS 15 OCTOBER*************

The Graduate Mathematics Program provides an opportunity for exceptional mathematics graduate students to work directly with NSA mathematicians on mission-critical problems and experience the excitement of the NSA mathematics community. Admission to the 12-week program is highly competitive. Applicants must be U.S. citizens who are currently enrolled in a mathematics graduated program.

Applicants should have demonstrated superior mathematical aptitude and problem-solving skills. Evidence of successful work on an independent project in pure or applied mathematics or computer science is desirable. Applicants may be at any stage in their graduate careers and working, or intending to work, in any area of mathematics. Computer programming experience, especially C or C++, is desirable.

State of the art computer software resources are available to Graduate Mathematics Program participants. Computational software packages such as MATHEMATICA, MATHLAB, MAGMA, MAPLE and SPLUS are also available.

Information about the Graduate Mathematics Program is sent to over 300 colleges and universities across the United States. Because of the lengthy security processing required, the deadline for applications is 15 October each year. To apply, a student must send a resume, at least two letters of recommendation from faculty members familiar with their work, and a copy of undergraduate and graduate transcripts through the current academic year. All information should be sent to:
