В общем я и раньше знал, что львиная доля денег скапливается в маленькой группе элитных университетов, но вот эта заметка даёт несколько интересных точек отсчёта. Так, я не знал, что средняя зарплата полного профессора в Гарварде $180,000, а в Беркли $130,000. Хотя я никогда не жил ни в Беркли ни в Кембридже, но такие доходы, с учётом стоимости жизни в этих местах, в лучшем случае обеспечивают вхождение в средний класс. Тут уместно напомнить, что в Гарвард, согласно официальной практике, принимают только лучших ученых в мире в своей области, или имеющих перспективу стать таковыми. Мда.

"This is probably the most difficult undergraduate math class in the country; a variety of advanced topics in mathematics are covered, and problem sets ask students to prove many fundamental theorems of analysis and linear algebra. Class meets three hours per week, plus one hour of section, and problem sets can take anywhere from 24 to 60 hours to complete. This class is usually small and taught by a well-established and prominent member of the faculty whose teaching ability can vary from year to year.
.....................
The difficulty of this class varies with the professor, but the class often contains former members of the International Math Olympiad teams, and in any event, it is designed for people with some years of university level mathematical experience. In order to challenge all students in the class, the professor can opt to make the class very, very difficult.
.................
You should take this class if one or more of these describes you:

* You are fairly certain that you want to be a math concentrator and want to be challenged to your limit.
* You have a solid base in advanced mathematics and are very comfortable with proofs and rigorous arguments.
* You want math to be your most important class."
