<p>Rutgers has a highly regarded math department, despite being “only a state school” (although it seems that NJ residents on these forums have a much lower opinion of Rutgers than its general reputation).</p>
<p>Honors lower division math courses will likely focus more of proofs and difficult problems than regular lower division math courses. They are most useful for those intending to major in math, though if you have a strong interest in math and are not afraid of proofs, you may find such courses interesting in and of themselves.</p>
