Our program offers substantial benefits for many types of students. Currently there are 30 students. Classes are small and contact with faculty outside class is easy, so that students receive an unusual amount of individual attention. Our students work quite hard in a demanding but non-competitive environment where they get support from both their peers and their instructors. If you are coming into the program from a field besides mathematics, the program is flexible enough to allow a certain amount of catch-up time. The mathematics department has access to several mainframe computers and owns Macintoshes and workstations that currently support research in a number of areas. These computers are fully networked and the Internet is accessible from all of them. The Tufts library includes a collection of books and journals on the mathematical sciences, including over 3,800 mathematics books and subscriptions to 100 mathematics journals; furthermore, Tufts students have access to 11 other university libraries through the Boston Area Library Consortium. The department's building was completely renovated in 1989 and now has a new study area as well as a common room, faculty and graduate student offices, and classrooms.
