Applied Mathematics Ranked No. 21 by
U.S. News & World Report
 Rensselaer's
doctoral program in applied mathematics has been ranked
No. 21 in the country by U.S. News & World Report.
The Institute is tied with Harvard, Rutgers, Arizona, Colorado
at Boulder, and SUNY at Stony Brook.
The rankings appear in the magazine's April
15 "Best Graduate Schools" edition, which hit
the newsstands April 8.
"It is always nice when your
department is ranked equal to Harvard and better than
such notable institutions as Duke, Columbia, and Yale."

The rankings are available at www.usnews.com.
This is the first year that U.S. News
& World Report has ranked doctoral programs in applied
mathematics separately from mathematics.
"It is always nice when your department
is ranked equal to Harvard and better than such notable
institutions as Duke, Columbia, and Yale," said Mark
Holmes, chair and professor mathematical sciences.
"The department has improved significantly
over the last few years. It is our intention that the next
time U.S. News & World Report issues the survey
we will rank even higher," Holmes said.
