GRE Math Subject Preparation Seminar
ORGANIZER: SCOT ADAMS
(email from Priyam on 21 July 2015)

The following are useful resources for preparation for the math subject test:

1. http://www.math.ucla.edu/~cmarshak/GREWorkshop.html
2. http://www.amazon.com/Cracking-Mathematics-Subject-Test-Edition/dp/0375429727
3. http://www.amazon.com/GRE-Mathematics-Test-Preparation/dp/0738608386
4. http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/GREmath/

In total there are 12 sample tests available: 5 ETS tests, 1 Princeton Review test, 6 REA tests.

I also wanted to suggest that associating topics with courses offered at UMN is a good idea. For example:

• Calculus: Calc I through IV (MATH 1371,1372, 2373, 2374 or the equivalent CLA versions or honors versions)
• Linear Algebra: MATH 4242
• Abstract Algebra: MATH 4281/ MATH 5285H
• Advanced Calculus: MATH 4603/MATH 5615H
• Discrete Math: MATH 4707/MATH 5707
• Prob-Stat Theory: MATH 4653/MATH 5651 or equivalent stats course offered by stats department
• Geometry: MATH 5335
• Complex Analysis: 5583
• General Topology (Distinct from set topology questions which are usually covered in discrete math courses): MATH 5345H
• Numerical Analysis: MATH 5485

I think if a student has difficulty in one of the areas listed above, he/she can either take this course or look at past courses' websites and read the material and books usually used with it.

If students are looking for additional problems to work with even after exhausting the above resources, the Schaum's Outline series on all the above topics are available online for purchase and at our math library. These books are very concise and have plenty of fully worked problems. The only disadvantage is that the student must go through the book to figure out what topics are relevant and what questions are worth doing since only a few of them are similar to test questions.

Best, Priyam
