Career
He works on the arithmetic of classical groups. Tamagawa was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study in 1955/6, 1958, and 1970. He has been on the Yale University faculty since 1963, and became emeritus in 1996.
He introduced the Tamagawa numbers, which are measures for algebraic groups over algebraic number fields.
