Thompson chairman The information about assistantships and fellowships on the following pages was supplied by 386 departments of mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, and related mathematical disciplines rep resenting 271 colleges and universities. Institutions in the United States are listed alphabetically by state, followed by Canadian institutions. This year the information on the number of assistantships and fellowships in the mathematical sciences is presented in a modified format. In the section on "number anticipated," the first number refers to the total number of assistantships and fellowships in the program. The second number following the colon is the number available to NEW students (first year or above). A dash is used to indicate "information not supplied by the department." The number following "Faculty" is the number of faculty members in the department who are full time employees in the institution and at least half-time in the department; the number following "Published" is the number of those reported who have published a technical paper or book in the last three years. The section on "Graduate Students" refers to the number of graduate students in the department who are full-time (including teaching assistants), full-time first year, and part-time. Information not supplied in any of these categories is indicated by a dash. Under the DEGREES AWARDED column the following terms have been used: Bachelor's by inst ..
