:shrug: like I said, all subjective.
- axolotlol 12y agoI'm curious what contributions you have in mind with regard to Cal Poly (also, Pomona or SLO?).
- aroman 12y agoThis. I agree that there is an element of subjectivity to it (Is Cambridge better than Oxford?), but I think it is simply impossible to successfully defend the claim that (as an example) The University of Phoenix has made more contributions to computer science than, say, Berkeley. One way — not the only way, but a reasonable way — to measure it is by the # of Turing Award laureates[0]. Cal Poly isn't even on the list. (Neither is it on the list of Nobel Prize winners, for what it's worth).
- thesimpsons1022 12y agodo you happen to have a list of either the colleges with the most Turing or Nobel Laureates?
- aroman 12y agoYes, and I actually referenced both when I was writing that comment. I intended to cite them (note the [0]!), but I forgot. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Turing_Award_laureates_by_university_affiliation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Turing_Award_laureates_... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_laureates_by_university_affiliation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_laureates_by_univ...
