How well is the mathematics major being taught at bates?
Any difference compared to other universities/colleges?
Is Bates worth applying to for the Mathematics major?
Bates offers a good variety of mathematics courses, but does not offer a computer science major, if that is an associated interest of yours.
For comparison, of the NESCAC colleges, three have a particularly high percentage of math majors: Williams (13%), Hamilton (10%) and Bowdoin (9%). These colleges also have computer science departments. If you compare the math offerings at Bates to those at these three colleges, you will have some idea as to whether Bates’ mathematics department is competitive with those at its peers.
