Read moreThe Department of Mathematics at Cornell University is a world leader in graduate and undergraduate mathematics education, and mathematical research. The 43 tenured and tenure-track faculty represent a broad spectrum of current mathematical research, while a lively graduate student population represents the global reach of department.
Topologists study geometric objects and how they hold up when deformed by stretching, twisting or bending. They explore how these objects fit together, how you can reshape them and what you can do with them in any number of dimensions.
