All our professors are active in research, which provides many choices of research area to doctoral students. At the same time our faculty is devoted to teaching and mentoring of students. Our graduate courses and research seminars provide a great atmosphere for collaborative learning and research. Moreover, the seven other research universities in the Boston area are all within easy reach, providing access to many more classes, seminars and colloquia in diverse areas of mathematical research.Master's students must either pass 9 courses or pass 7 courses and write a thesis. A master's thesis is the result of directed study with an adviser of your choice, it is usually a survey of a specific topic or an in-depth study of some problem. The Master's program is intended to prepare students for employment in the mathematics profession either in academia, in government, in business and industry or to pursue further graduate education. It normally takes about two years of full time study for someone entering with the equivalent of an undergraduate mathematics major, including a background in algebra and analysis, students entering with less background may take longer, and nontraditional students are warmly invited to apply.The Analysis cluster at Tufts includes a range of specialties that cross over between pure and applied math, with common interests in harmonic analysis, PDEs, and integral geometry. Harmonic analysis is an abstract generalization of Fourier theory that includes the study of Laplacians and their spectra on manifolds and in many other geometric settings. Partial differential equations (PDEs) are omnipresent in applications of mathematics to physics, from the time of Fourier and Maxwell onwards. Integral geometry is the study of integral transforms that integrate functions over curves or surfaces in Euclidean space or manifolds. Fulton Gonzalez works in harmonic analysis on homogeneous spaces and in integral geometry, using tools from representation theory, functional analysis, differential geometry, and algebraic geometry. Todd Quinto's pure research involves the use of microlocal analysis in integral geometry, with applications to harmonic analysis and PDEs. Bruce Boghosian studies periodic solutions to PDEs that exhibit spatiotemporal chaos, such as the Kurimoto-Sivashinsky equations that govern the dynamics of flame fronts. James Adler's research uses tools from numerical analysis (including finite-elements) for studying the solution of PDEs. Xiaozhe Hu's research studies the qualitative properties of PDEs such as stability and well-posedness for developing efficient and robust numerical methods. James Murphy uses methods from harmonic analysis, spectral graph theory, and high-dimensional statistics for theoretical machine learning. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
