北美藤校開數學碩士的有哪些？

01-02

想讀一個數學碩士過渡到phd，現在的背景無法申請phd，請問一下知乎的大蝦們，北美藤校除了賓大以外，還有沒有其它的開在數學學院下的數學碩士？

美國的數學master有兩種, 一種是當成自己系PhD的預備隊來培養的. 招生數量少, 一般給TA或者至少半獎, 畢業要求大概相當於PhD資格考試之前的課程要求,轉本系PhD也相對容易. 另一種就是為了賺錢而開設的, 沒人管, 要求很低, 出路也奇差. 很多名校的數學master其實都是後一種, 所謂的數學master空有個名頭, 連測度論都不用學就可以混畢業, 畢業時候可能亂七八糟唬人的課學了不少, 但是貨真價實的數學功底我覺得也就相當於國內數學系大二下學期比較好的學生, 離PhD資格考試的要求天差地遠, 轉本校PhD也只有理論上的可能性.

我自己就帶過後一種master學生的畢業論文, 水平那就真的呵呵了. 不光是數學學不好, 做人都成問題, 一幫子英語奇差又沒什麼上進心的小留學生廝混在一起, 你懂的......

不想在這裡一一點名, 但是你可以自己去看看課程要求, 從"advanced calculus」和"advanced linear algebra"開始學起的master項目十有八九是水貨.

舉兩個例子吧, 都是其他答主提到的學校, 反正匿名不怕得罪人. Master項目水不水和學校實力關係真的不大......

一個是NYU, 專門開了不少猴版課程把master和PhD分開, 點開看看就知道, 想偷懶的話以國內數學系大二下學期的水平就能畢業.

為何非得限定藤校。。8所學校太狹窄了。。其他幾所我還真不知道招不招，賓大招是招，但是人數很少，一屆就2個數學碩士的樣子。

NYU招數學碩士就招得挺多的啊。 UMich這種大牛校也招數學碩士啊，西北、UIUC等等印象里也招。學數學何必非得去藤校，PH是神校，Yale數學太小眾，Columbia也是前十的難度，Brown Cornell其實跟UT Austin UMN這種差不多。我賓的話，我現在覺得比不上石溪，石溪的Simons center有一票牛人，我賓明顯名氣大於實力。Dartmouth的數學是個奇葩。。雖然不見得有多好，但是申請難度絕對配得上藤校的逼格。。

真心想好好做學術的話強推 ETH Zurich 無學費學校超牛課程難應該是能好好學到點東西的

要不是非要北美的話劍橋牛津都有數學master
