[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking to build a good college list and would love some advice: [b]My DC wants to study pure math, and by the time he graduates high school, would have completed Calc IV (multivariable calculus) and Linear Algebra. Both classes were fairly easy for him.[/b]

Would either Carlton or Reed be a good school for him to continue study math, mainly:
- are math classes there challenging? 
- will he "run out of" higher level math classes during his undergrad years?
- will he find a good "math kid" crowd at either school?
- other things he should be aware?

He'll likely go on to get a masters or PhD in math.

He has other schools on his list (e.g. [b]Umich, Wisconsin, etc), and his counselor suggested these two,[/b] and we're not familiar with either.[/quote]

Listen to the counselors who recommended U Michigan and the University of Wisconsin as your gifted son will need access to graduate level mat classes. [/quote]
Multivaribe clc and linear is not particularly advanced for a math major. These days kids are coming in with some discrete math, combinatorics, and real analysis. I wouldn’t even begin talking about graduate coursework till the kid takes a rigorous our math course[/quote]
