AI Thread Summary
Interest in graduate studies in Algebraic Geometry (AG) and Algebraic Topology (AT) is growing, with several universities recognized for their strong programs. Key institutions mentioned include Columbia, Michigan, Texas, Utah, and the University of Chicago for AG, while the University of Chicago is noted for AT. Additional notable schools include MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley, Rice, Georgia, Duke, Minnesota, UMass-Amherst, Wisconsin-Madison, Princeton, and Yale, all of which have strong offerings in these fields. Both Princeton and Yale are highlighted for their weekly seminars in AG and likely in AT as well. The discussion also touches on Algebraic K-Theory, noting that it is less commonly associated with specific strong math departments, suggesting a need for further exploration of schools excelling in this niche area.

I'm finding myself interested in studying something like Algebraic Geometry or Algebraic Topology for graduate school, and I'm just wondering what schools are out there at have strong programs in these areas? I already know about Columbia, Michigan, Texas, and Utah for AG, and about UChicago for AT. Are there any others that I should be aware of? Bonus points for having a strong program in both.

Why is MIT not on your list? How about Berkeley?
 
places everyone knows: MIT, Stanford, Harvard; and you might look also at: Rice, Georgia, Duke, Minnesota, UMass - Amherst, Wisconsin-Madison; and of course Chicago is very strong also in AG.
 
I would also include Princeton and Yale to 'places everyone knows'. I think both have weekly seminars on Algebraic Geometry, and probably on Topology too.
 
Great. A somewhat related topic is Algebraic K-Theory... so what about schools for that? Since it isn't a huge subject you don't really hear about schools having math departments which are strong in the field..
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
