In 1977, the Mathematics Department at the University of California, Berkeley, instituted a written examination as one of the first major requirements toward the Ph.D. degree in mathematics. Its purpose was to determine whether first-year students in the Ph.D. program had successfully mastered basic mathematics in order to continue in the program with the likelihood of success. Since its inception, the exam has become a major hurdle to overcome in the pursuit of the degree.Paulo Ney de Souza is the author of 'Berkeley Problems in Mathematics (Problem Books in Mathematics)' with ISBN 9780387952079 and ISBN 0387952071.
