<p>Among LACs, certainly agree with Williams, Swarthmore, Harvey Mudd, Pomona and Reed. St. Olaf, as mentioned, although a less selective school, has a very deep and strong math program. Amherst is not a school that comes to mind in the field - only about 2% of the small student body majors in math or CS. Compare that to Carleton, Grinnell, or Haverford at around 8% or so - schools that should be added to those already listed.</p>
<p>Among the Ivys, all will be very strong at the undergrad level. Dartmouth is clearly a weaker sibling at the graduate level. Princeton is the historical shining star. Outside of the Ivys, departments at MIT, Caltech, Stanford, Chicago, Northwestern, Berkeley, etc. are of equal (or better) quality.</p>
