best school for a math major?

Applying to College
1

name like the top 10 schools or so plz, in descending order.

2

<ol>
<li>MIT/Caltech/Harvard/Princeton</li>
<li>Stanford/Berkeley</li>
<li>the rest :)</li>
</ol>

3

<p>Math, aye? I say..IIT, Kyoto, Oxford, La Sorbonne</p>

4

<ol>
<li>Princeton</li>
</ol>

5

<p>hmmm, let's see a person with Princeton IN his username is suggesting Princeton as #1 for math. Possible bias?....nah.</p>

<p>MIT governs!</p>

6

<p>MIT / Caltech?</p>

7

<p>It seems like all of the top math students go to Harvard for some reason...</p>

8

<p>For pure math, Harvard and Princeton are probably the top schools...</p>

<p>At Harvard, there's a freshman course called Math 55. Basically, you take all the IMO kids, stick them in a room, and give them problems to do... after Math 55, they go on to graduate-level math.</p>

9

<p>MIT
Harvard/Princeton/Stanford/Berkeley
U of Chicago
yale
Caltech
U Michigan
cornell
NYU/UCLA</p>

<p>According to US News</p>

10

<p>The University of Cambridge.</p>

11

<p>Well the IMO kids should noe best.</p>

<p>Gabriel Caroll the IMO full mark producer studies in Harvard
Tien Kai Liu, 4 time IMO golds since 9th grade studies in Harvard</p>

<p>Math 55 must be pretty appealing. Like alot of you, I expected Caltech or MIT to be their top choice but I guess not. I mite havae spelt their names wrong and plz excuse me.</p>

12

<p>mit,uc davis,yale,amherst</p>

13

<p>i heard university of florida.</p>

14

<p>hands down</p>

<p>harvard- math 55</p>

<p>but then again this is not just for people who are good at math... or even excellent</p>

<p>its for flat out prodigies... or so i hear</p>

15

<p>Tien Kai Liu - haha - I went to middle school with him. i believe it was tian kai, but i could be wrong. cool to know that i competed in the same math competitions as someone so elite .. math nerds unite.</p>

16

<p>math55. area 51. connections? lol.</p>

17

<p>Actually, I think Tiankai Liu only won 3 IMO Gold Medals. He didn't participate in the IMO his junior year to go to RSI instead.</p>

18

<p>wow all this math stuff cool, i wish i was as good in math as you guys</p>

19

<p>ah yes. thnx for correcting me sleepisoptional. ya; he did go to RSI. but I dont think he did much about his research. Caroll on the other hand did this amazing set theory research which came 3rd place intel i think. u can check it out on his website!</p>
