What are some of the best colleges for a degree in mathematics?

A few colleges with the most diverse programs in mathematics are of course, Harvard, Stanford, and MIT; but, they are schools that are hard to get in to and their cost for a math degree is rather expensive, so my suggestion is to choose a school like Cabrillo College, which has a long tradition of providing quality mathematics (cabrillo.edu/academics/math/) or Henry Ford Community College (hfcc.edu/programs/), which has received the National Science Foundation Exemplary Activities in Mathematics. Otherwise, choose from one of the schools listed at math.ncsu.edu/alliance/universities.php. A college that offers a Graduate Certificate in Applied Statistics is Kansas State University (K-State).

The estimated cost to complete the certificate is $7,500. K-State is an accredited school that offers an affordable certificate for students interested in such a major online (http://www.distance.k-state.edu). If another school (or math degree) is what you are after, why not check the Web site http://www.brighthub.com/education/online-learning/articles/102100.aspx, which lists other schools that offer online Graduate Certificates in Math.

Otherwise, see http://www.onlinedegrees.org/math.htm. A college that offers an online math education master's degree (for those seeking to be licensed teachers) is, Western Governors University (WGU). The program prepares students with the knowledge and skills to become math education teachers for elementary, middle school, and high school.

WGU has received NCATE accreditation for its math degree program that leads to teacher licensure. Here is a good blog Web site, http://www.onlinedegree.net/50-best-blogs-for-math-majors/, which discusses topics related to math. And, if you are looking for the top schools that provide math degrees, just turn to the U.S.News & World Report that lists the best schools (by rankings) at http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-mathematics-programs/rankings.Lastly, if you are still in search of more information in mathematics (or other math courses or degree programs), seek out the Mathematical Association of America (http://www.maa.org/students/) community, who are sure able to fulfill your goals as a math student (or teacher).

If, instead, you are interested in becoming a mathematician, take a look at this article, “Applied math becomes more popular among students” (cabrillo.edu/academics/math/)0. Before I go, let me share one last Web site, cabrillo.edu/academics/math/)1, which provides “General Mathematics And Statistics Degree Information. €.

In 2010, the No. 1 university in the world for mathematics is Princeton University, according to the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU). ARWU's annual rankings are now "considered the most influential international ranking," according to the Chronicle of ARWU uses various ranking criteria, but the ranking is heavily weighted toward institutions whose faculty or alumni have won Nobel Prizes.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
