What is Chicago known for?

<p>It depends on what you’re looking for. I can’t speak for any other subjects, but as for math, I think Chicago quite easily trumps MIT in pure math, and MIT quite easily trumps Chicago in applied math.</p>

<p>For instance, in MIT’s first semester graduate analysis course, they cover the first 3 chapters of Walter Rudin’s Real and Complex Analysis. At Chicago, they cover the first 9 chapters in addition to measure-theoretical probability theory.</p>
