<p>Can anyone tell me about the math program/students/culture at Vassar? Son is interested in math (probably pure math), likes chess but is otherwise very mainstream, fairly straight and narrow type.</p>
<p>S1 and S2 have taken several math courses and have enjoyed them. They are in a different major but math is essential. They have taken engineering courses at other local universities and the math at Vassar prepared them well. The math sequence seems to be very strong and certainly non competitive - Vassar has a very collaborative environment.</p>
