General Generals Information
The Graduate Students' Guide to Generals
is a collection of files with reports of mathematics graduate students
of Princeton University on their generals. This service was established
by Ariel Glenn (many thanks to her) and maintained through the ages
by a long list of graduate students, including but not limited to Adrian Banner, Dennis Kosygin, Kevin Hughes, Steven J. Miller, Jade Vinson, Ryan Siders, and Matthew de Courcy-Ireland. We hope that
this information will be helpful
for future generations of mathematics students in Princeton. We also
encourage everyone who has already passed generals and especially
those who found this database useful to share their experiences and to
contribute to this collection. This database is currently maintained
by:
Laura Shou (lshou@math.princeton.edu)
Disclaimer: The questions contained in this database are to be
regarded purely as a sample of the mathematics students' experience in
taking the general examinations. This document was prepared by
mathematics students without faculty participation, and is not to be
construed as a syllabus for the generals.
