| Hey I know it's quite a bit late but I hear Princeton has the best program for math majors. I may be wrong but so far thats what's been said in my presence in significantly different situations. As a prospective math major myself, I would hope that your son makes the decision on his needs and capabilities i.e. if he needs an extra cushion ("solid grounding in fundamental math") to solidify his mathematical abilities, then Princeton is most likely not the best choice seeing that it "caters to the upper echelon of math majors and that it fails to provide a solid grounding in fundamental math."
On the other hand, if your son is very comfortable and SURE that he can take the 'rush' of delving right into 'heavy' mathematics, I would be glad to hear that he chose Princeton.
Either way, I'm sure he would be fine wherever he chooses to go...you must be really proud of him...HYP and all...g'luck to u all. |
