42

<p>"hey guys..im going to Cornell next year..why are we always at the bottom =\"</p>

<p>I just find that amusing...</p>

43

<p>Please allow me to reiterate my informational question: what would be a good indicator of the excellence of a math department?</p>

44

<p>How about the peer assessment of the mathematics department as reflected in the USNews rankings for 2006?</p>

<ol>
<li> Massachusetts Institute of Technology 5.0</li>
<li> Harvard University (MA) 4.9
Princeton University (NJ) 4.9
Stanford University (CA) 4.9
University of California–Berkeley 4.9</li>
<li> University of Chicago 4.8</li>
<li> California Institute of Technology 4.6
New York University 4.6
University of Michigan–Ann Arbor 4.6
Yale University (CT) 4.6</li>
</ol>

<p>byerly.. i see u post a lot on cc... how would u rate the ivies objectively and subjectively? (not on sports.. if u go back to the beginning of the thread ull see what i mean)</p>

46

<p>Sorry... I don't do ratings. I leave that exercise to the "experts"!</p>

47

<p>^^^ The rankings posted by Byerly from U.S. News look plausible to me. That would put Harvard and Princeton in a tie in the Ivy League, which sounds about right. I suppose there is some variation in these ratings from time to time.</p>

<p>update: "lightning strikes" in ivy league baseball championship - princeton sweeps harvard, by lopsided margins of 9-3 and 8-2.</p>

I would probably sort a list based on Putnam winners or something like that, which I think would put Harvard on top.

<p>But that would only be because MIT isn't in the Ivy!</p>
