A mathematician for 30 years, Krantz (Washington U., St. Louis) offers practical guidance for chosing a graduate program, passing the qualifying exams, finding an advisor, writing a thesis, and getting a job (both within and outside of academia). After discussing grad school preparation and the elements of a graduate education, he covers such issues as practical and moral difficulties that might be encountered, includes an overview of how various topics fit together, and provides an extensive glossary (with web sites) and appendices detailing such information as the administrative structure of a mathematics department and a university.
