<p>I am in the process of writing my Penn Essay and want to include one of my research interests, but don’t know if Penn has any faculty, courses, or anything related to the field it involves. Its a relatively new and unproven branch of mathematics. Now who would I contact to find out more about whether Penn has any relation to this field. The reason I ask is because I don’t want to write an essay about doing research on something when Penn really can’t help me with that research. Could I contact the head of the mathematics department, or just the regional admissions officer?</p>
<p>email a math professor first (not necessarily the head, look at whose research interests might go along with yours)</p>
<p>the admissions officer is not likely to know without asking the math department</p>
<p>are the math professors email addresses on the penn website?</p>
<p>they’re on the math department website…</p>
