Venue description

The Brandeis Department of Mathematics combines the informality, flexibility, and general friendliness of a small department with the intellectual vigor of a faculty whose research accomplishments have placed it among the top departments in the country. Courses and seminars range from introductory classes to the frontiers of current research. In many, especially at advanced levels, faculty members will often be in the audience with students lecturing. The result is an active dialogue among all members of the department and a general air of living, creative mathematics. The student at Brandeis is fortunate to be in an area containing many first-rate universities. The students will find a wealth of lectures, seminars, colloquia, and opportunities for contact with mathematicians at Harvard, M.I.T., Tufts, Boston University, Northeastern, and the many other local schools. This unusual concentration creates a mathematical community of unparalleled diversity and depth. In addition to mathematics, the Boston area is well known for its lively cultural and social life. The large academic population has created an active intellectual environment that provides many social and recreational opportunities.
