Level

Stony Brook University offers advanced graduate-level projects within various branches of mathematics, providing opportunities for in-depth study and research. These projects are designed for students who have a strong foundation in mathematics and are looking to specialize in areas such as algebra, analysis, geometry, topology, and dynamical systems. The program focuses on developing a deep understanding of theoretical concepts and their applications.

Entry requirements

Representation theory of finite groupsLinear algebra (MAT 310/315), Abstract algebra (MAT 313)

Algebraic curvesComfortable with proof-based mathematics (MAT 200/250). Abstract algebra (MAT 313) and/or basic topology (MAT 364, MAT 528) would be helpful.

Computational algebraic geometryAbstract algebra, especially basic ring theory (e.g. MAT 313)

Foundations of algebraic geometryTopology (MAT 528), Algebra (MAT 313/524 Fall 2025)

Complex analysisAnalysis (MAT 319/320), knowledge of real analysis and smooth manifolds may be helpful for further topics

Fourier analysisAnalysis (MAT 319/320)

Mathematical fluid dynamicsMultivariable calculus (MAT 307), Analysis (MAT 319/320), Measure theory (MAT 324)

Partial differential equationsLinear algebra (MAT 310/315), Analysis (MAT 319/320), ordinary differential equations (MAT 303/308)

Fractals everywhere!Two years of calculus (e.g., MAT 203). Having seen real analysis and some measure theory would be optimal, but is not required.
