The numbers that appear throughout these tables are estimates based on the responses to a survey distributed to approximately 600 institutions selected as part of a stratified random sample of mathematics departments at the approximately 1400 four-year institutions and 1000 public two-year institutions in the US.

... The curriculum consists of two, four-week core courses, one in abstract and linear algebra and one in analysis; problem sessions conducted by three graduate student mentors; a mini-course and guest lectures on timely areas of mathematical research; TeX sessions and presentations by participants. The Follow-Up Mentoring Program provides support, both socially and professionally, for the graduate school experience.
