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.  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:  

Department of Defense
