Dear Colleague:

I am writing to you on behalf of our Department to ask for your
assistance in reaching potential graduate students.  The information
below gives a brief description of our Graduate Program, to which I
would like to add a few words.

Although our Department is small it provides many of the amenities
of a larger department.  We offer a full range of graduate courses
leading to the Master's and Ph.D.  degrees in pure and applied
mathematics. Our faculty's research interests are varied, providing
a good choice of dissertation topics.  We have a state of the art
Sun computer network, a first class mathematics collection in the
University library, and a stimulating series of colloquia and
seminars.

Students who pursue graduate work in our department will find an
environment which offers the kind of individual attention not often
found in larger departments.  Each entering student is assigned a
faculty member to serve as mentor during the first few years
preceding the selection of a dissertation advisor.  The mentor and
the student meet on a regular basis to discuss the student's
experiences and progress in the program.

Our graduate program has a long history of producing Ph.D. and
Master's graduates who have gone on to successful careers.
Recently, the University has awarded us additional Graduate
Teaching Assistantships, which will effectively double the size of
our graduate program. We are now actively seeking good students to
fill these new positions.  The Teaching Assistantship package
includes full tuition credits, a stipend, and additional support in
exchange for certain teaching duties, including teaching
recitations and working in our ``Math Lab.''  Interested graduate
students often have the opportunity to teach  summer school.

We hope that you will mention our graduate program to promising
students who are considering graduate work in mathematics.  The
next application deadline is February 15, 1993.  Please call or
write to us if we can answer any questions about graduate study at
The George Washington University.  Should you or your students have
the opportunity to visit our Department, we would be delighted to
welcome you.

                                        Sincerely yours,
                                        E. Arthur (Robbie) Robinson

Excerpts from our brochure:

Programs of Study:

The Department of Mathematics offers programs of advanced study and
research leading to the degrees of Master of Arts, Master of Science
and Doctor of Philosophy.

Research Facilities:

The George Washington University Library collection, which includes
over 200 mathematics-related journals, is excellent for advanced
study and research.  Other mathematical research libraries in the area
are also available to students.

Students have access to the Department's computing system consisting
of 3 Sun SPARCstation 1+ machines, PC's linked to the Suns, and state
of the art mathematical research software.  Access to computer systems
outside the Department is available via edunet.  The University has a
modern computing center, including classrooms equipped with
microcomputers.

The Area:

The University is located in the District of Columbia, four blocks
west of the White House. Its proximity to numerous research
laboratories, government agencies, and national museums offers
students a variety of educational, professional, and cultural
opportunities.

Financial Aid:

Graduate study in mathematics is supported by teaching assistantships
and University fellowships. Applicants interested in financial aid are
encouraged to apply early.  For interested mathematics graduate
students, the research laboratories and companies located in the
Washington metropolitan area offer excellent job opportunities.
