<p>I never really compared Michigan’s math department to others when I was initially chosing a university. I didn’t even know I was going to major in Math. I actually expected Political Science or History to compliment my Economics degree. But I eventually chose Math. Michigan’s Math department, like many major research departments, is pretty weak at the intro level. However, if you are like most math majors, you will probably place out of intro Math (Calc I, II and III). If you do, then you have nothing to worry about. Michigan’s mid and higher level courses are taught by full professors and they are very challenging and informative. I actually really enjoyed my math classes.</p>
<p>I was part of the Honors college. The only difference between thew Honors college and the regular university is the talent level of the students and the speed at which we move. So they usually cover a couple more chapters during the course of a semester. </p>
<p>I know this isn;t much information, but like I said, I never really compared Michigan’s Math department to other universities. Of the schools I was consider, Michigan had one of the 4 best at Math as far as the rankings were concerned, but that was all I knew.</p>
