In fact the historical record shows that Princeton has an Applied Math department ( http://www.pacm.princeton.edu http://www.pacm.princeton.edu ) and does a lot of math-like things in their ORFE department ( https://orfe.princeton.edu https://orfe.princeton.edu )
- graycat 10y agoWe are in full agreement, and you added evidence to the evidence I gave: For ORFE, I mentioned Cinlar. My best prof was one of Cinlar's star students. And I mentioned Ford and Fulkerson, Kuhn and Tucker, Tukey, and you mentioned still more. Good.
