er, that would be the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, and while the CS department is within it, it's not really surprising that they would have a focus on mathematics. And they are indeed very well respected, especially in applied mathematics (and to a lesser extent, pure mathematics).
Not sure why this comment bothered me so much, but there are important things outside of CS :) I'm not very familiar with their reputation in computer science circles, however.
- wdewind 12y agoSorry, you're absolutely correct, and I didn't mean to imply otherwise. As a math institute I have no problems with it, and it has a great reputation. I have a number of friends who felt the program was good. Regardless, the main problems with the place are the people teaching in the CS program, not the material being taught (although that could use an update as well).
