I'm trying to decide between Brown and Dartmouth, and I'm leaning towards Brown, so I'm looking to find out more about the departments I'd expect to take lots of classes in. Can anyone speak to the quality of the Math department, or even the applied math department, at Brown? I sat in on an Intermediate Macro. class and really enjoyed it - are the professors in Econ and Math pretty good across the board? I was also wondering if its possible to double concentrate in Applied Math/Economics AND Mathematics, or if the applied math/econ is looked upon as being as good as both. I've heard really excellent things about the applied math department and I'm pretty much trying to learn why that is, I suppose. It would be perfect if someone has some knowledge of Dartmouth's math department as well, since that's what my decision has come down to! They just built a new building to house their math department too, which is quite alluring and impressive! I wouldn't base my decision on the architecture of the departments of course, though, lol.

Thanks to anyone who helps me out! : )
