How to find a grad program by area of interest (math)

AI Thread Summary
Several users discuss the challenge of finding math graduate schools that align with specific research interests beyond Google. A suggested resource is the US News rankings, which categorize graduate schools by specialty, though it has limitations, such as requiring payment for detailed information beyond the top 10 schools. There is a debate about the effectiveness of rankings, with some expressing skepticism about their accuracy. The conversation also highlights the importance of consulting academic advisors or former professors for personalized guidance in selecting schools with active research groups in the desired field.
