I guess for math students, just replace Jackson with Munkres or Dummit and Foote.

I have a question... is graduate school funding in the US that bad?
Topher925 said:Yes it is. I find it terrible actually unless you are going to a school that has a union. I know for what I make, it isn't nearly enough to make ends meet. This will change once I start my PhD and get payed double what I do now but for my masters I need to dip into my savings to pay for things like health insurance, car insurance,...basically all of my (worthless) insurance comes out of my savings.

Our students get $23000 a year plus health insurance and tuition waivers, and they aren't even asked to teach for it!
