[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is another College Transitions site, in this case particular to mathematics, that may be of interest:

2025 Best Colleges for Mathematics - College Transitions https://www.collegetransitions.com/blog/best-colleges-for-mathematics/

As an opinion, the site offers some good suggestions but should not be relied on as authoritative. For example, why does Claremont McKenna place so highly? And where is Reed?[/quote]
I don't see either of those questions as an issue. Do you expect Claremont McKenna to have a bad math department? They linked methodology: [url]https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/top-colleges-methodology/[/url][/quote]
A potential concern with CMC might be that it graduated only 7 first majors in math in a recent year. For comparison, some other LACs graduated 30 or more. [/quote]
7 math majors with 12 tenure track professors and 4 visiting faculty sounds pretty good. You'll get small classes, easy access to research, and if you want to branch out, Harvey Mudd is across the street. 30-70 math majors when your college only has about 10 tenure track faculty sounds bloated for an lac.[/quote]
