Hey,

SUNY Stony Brook's applied math is one of the best programs in the nation, perhaps the world. A friend of mine is applying to Stony brook's program and has told me good things about the professor and students. He told me that the graduate program is very diverse, attracting student from all over the world. If my memory is correct, one of the profs. in applied math dept., James Glimm, was recently named by President Bush as one of the eight winners of National Medal of Science (Applied Mathematics). Like people say, if you want to be the best, you have to learn from the best! Now, the departments going to be lasvishly funded by the shcool/government. (http://commcgi.cc.stonybrook.edu/art...icle_576.shtml)

BTW, as for physics, Stony brook is a powerhouse. Prof. C. N. Yang, is a Nobel laureate, and all the profs. are recognized internationally for their work. In addition, stony brook's science department has a partnership with Brookhaven Lab which is also generously funded by the fed. gov. Having said that, you will have endless research opportunities @ Stony Brook. Good Luck

BTW, yuou will definitely need a car @ Stony Brook. I have visited the school couple of years ago and a nearest convenient store was couple of miles away from the campus. It is pretty isolated, nevertheless a beautiful campus. If you want to go out to Manhattan, you train station is in the school, so it'll take you 1.5 hours to get there. Hope I was helpful

Woops! the physics part was for other guy who was interested in applied math or physic. Sorry about that.
