I am interested in Applied Mathematics, but it is extremely hard to find a concrete set of colleges that are considered at the top. Does anyone know what the top schools for Applied Math are?
Also, which school would an Applied Math major apply to(i.e. School of Sciences, etc)?
Applied Math can be covered in a wide range of programs and majors, like Data Science. These programs may or may not be part of the Math department depending on the school. One area of Applied Math that is not as well known, and that I personally discovered only after I got to college, is Operations Research. At Cornell for example, Operations Research is part of the Engineering school. You really have to pick some schools of interest and sleuth around specific majors and their curriculum/courses to find a good fit.
