文书要求

The statement of purpose, which should be between one and two pages long, should include:

objectives in pursuing graduate study;
identification of fields within computer science in which the applicant has a particular interest;
information that is relevant to the applicant’s qualifications for graduate study but that has not been included already in the application (e.g. major academic projects, papers presented or published, and non-academic computer experience);
an informative title or a brief description of any course listed on the applicant’s transcript without a title (or with a vague title such as “Mathematics II”);
a list of all courses taken or planned that do not yet appear on a transcript.

Prerequisite

We welcome promising students from all disciplines, and there are no requirements on previous coursework to apply to our graduate program. Entering students in our graduate programs typically have a substantial background in both mathematics and computer science. Although not required, this background often includes at least six semester courses in mathematics and six in computer science. We consider knowledge of the following subjects to be essential preparation for our graduate program:
differential and integral calculus;
discrete mathematics: sets, relations, functions, algebra;
linear algebra or matrix theory;
mathematical probability, preferably calculus-based;
structured programming techniques;
data structures and abstract data types;
computer organization.
Most entering students have studied most of the following subjects:
design and analysis of algorithms;
formal languages and automata theory;
databases;
operating systems;
compilers;
digital logic techniques;
numerical computing methods;
programming languages;
software engineering.
Students who are admitted but who have not completed all the requirements must complete them after admission. Preference is given to applicants who are solidly prepared, especially in mathematics.
