<p>Hm, one somewhat unrelated point about dcd’s post - it’s my experience that the Dartmouth math department is actually pretty…not good, to be charitable. The profs are smart and able, no doubt about that, but judging from my experience, that of my friends, and the SA course reviews, the teaching is abysmal. So I’m not surprised dcd had a bad experience as a math major. I think at Dartmouth as a math major you often have to teach yourself, especially in the lower level classes.</p>
