 Meiselman graduated from high school at the Boston Latin School and then went on to attend Harvard University (the undergraduate school which all three of Soloveitchik's children and his American grandchildren attended) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.In the latter institution, he studied under Dr. Donald Werner Anderson and earned his doctorate in mathematics in 1967 with the thesis "The Operation Ring for Connective K-Theory".While Meiselman's sole formal education (including high school through post-graduate school) took place at secular institutions, rather than yeshivot, Meiselman's students report that he was strong in his haredi viewpoint even at this young age.
