Thanks again for the comments on my previous post. I've done some work narrowing the field of math schools. Note that since my previous post I've made a decision to weight schools in the south a bit more heavily than those in the north. Here is a list, along with my comments.
AMS Group I:
Any comments are appreciated. I hope that some version of this list may be a help to others in a similar situation.
AMS Group I:
- U(TX), Austin: Very large, well regarded. Generous stipends.
- U(MD), College park: Seems to be stocked with various kinds of analysts. They do have a leading symbolic dynamics guy, though. High cost of living?
- Twin Cities: Missed their deadline. They looked nice, though. Hard to get in?
- U(WI), Madison: Strengths in algebra and combinatorics. Low Faculty/student.
- U(CA), San Diego: Looks nice.
- Purdue: An engineering school, I'm not sure I'd fit the culture.
- Georgia Tech: Has one of the only combinatorics programs in the US, but with a very applied bent. See Purdue. Good stipends, but I'm not sure what the cost of living is.
- U(GA): Strong in representation theory, nice to students.
- Arizona: Friendly appearance, didn't tweak my academic curiousity.
- Florida: I don't have a note written for this one. IIRC, has an unusual strength in discrete geometry.
- TAMU: Very large. My notes claim a strength in algebra, but the largest group of degrees was in applied math.
- Kentucky: Friendly web site, nice location. PhDs.org gave it a decent ranking (for my weighting), for some reason. Don't know much else.
Any comments are appreciated. I hope that some version of this list may be a help to others in a similar situation.
