Math Degrees and Careers

[mittman84]

My school doesnt have a PhD program in mathmatics but does have a masters program. I am looking though the bulletin and do not see a real annalysis course. There is MTH332 Introduction to Analysis, MTH439 Numerical Analysis and MTH632 Introduction to Real Analysis and Its Applications. How advanced is real analysis? It doesnt seem to make sence that my school doesnt have it since it has a masters program in math. How hard is the course work for a Phd really? Reading that site you showed me is scaring me a little. The two professors I have talked to said grad school was a great time and made it sound like the the math wasnt very demanding. They went to U of Illinois, and U of Georgia, so not exactly Harvard. The one who went to Illinois make it sound like as long as I can take derivatives I would be all set (obviously exadurating, lol). I am looking at going to an upper-middle of the pack school (ie: big ten, ohio st, illinios etc)
