First of all thank you for all replying to my original question. Out of curiousity, at what textbook level should one's understanding of analysis, linear algebra, statistics, probability, etc be upon entering a a typical PhD program. I am trying to gauge which gaps in my background I need to fill in before I enter such a program and truly appreciate your help.
