About

Welcome to the Math Department! The Mathematics Department at Tufts University welcomes you regardless of who you are and what your past experience with mathematics may have been. We would like to extend a special welcome to those who have often faced access barriers: people of color, women, LGBTQ people, first-generation college students. We are committed to building a welcoming and supportive environment for all who want to join us in studying and creating mathematics. 

Research

The Mathematics Department prepares undergraduate and graduate students to ask and answer mathematical-based questions about insights and methods in a broad variety of mathematical research areas. Such areas include - but not limited to - calculus, linear algebra, real analysis, abstract algebra, probability / statistics, partial differential equations, numerical linear algebra / numerical analysis, geometry / topology, number theory and complex analysis, as well as the understanding of the role of hypotheses, conclusions, counter examples and other forms of mathematical evidence in the development and formulation of mathematical ideas.

Academics

Our department offers a wide variety of courses and academic programs. We offer undergraduate degrees (BA and BS) in Math, Pure Math and Applied Math. We also offer graduate programs: a postbaccalaureate certificate, a Masters degree, and a PhD degree. 

Events and Groups

We have an array of active student groups, a department colloquium, and several weekly research seminars.
