Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics

The doctoral degree in Mathematics at Drexel features research opportunities in many areas of both pure and applied mathematics. Departmental research interests include: mathematical biology, applied dynamical systems, combinatorics, matrix and operator theory, geometry, optics, inverse problems, probability, numerical analysis, and partial differential equations.Students pursuing a PhD in Mathematics have many opportunities to engage with our departmental community outside of the classroom. The department runs a biweekly colloquium series and as well as a number of research seminars featuring speakers from within the department and other institutions. Seminars, which usually meet weekly, are the Analysis Seminar, the Combinatorics and Algebraic Geometry Seminar, and the PDEApplied Math Seminar. The SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics) student chapter runs their own seminar series as well.
