Whether you're studying science, engineering, economics, or business, mathematics remains the core foundation of a huge number of university subjects.
As such, there's no shortage of world class institutes to study it at — assuming you're smart enough to get in.
QS released their annual university rankings by Maths courses on Tuesday, taking into account academic reputation, employer reputation, citations per head and overall score.
Many of them mirror the overall rankings — with a few interesting outliers. As with 2015, North American universities dominate the list, with five European, two Asian ones and one Australian university making up the rest.
Check out the list below to see who comes where in the maths university league:
21 (joint). Yale University: 84.8 — We kick off with Yale, a university best known for its rivalry with Harvard as well as its world class education. It may not have won the maths fight this year, but it can take solace in jumping two places from last year.
21 (joint). University of Texas at Austin: 84.8 — One of the best universities in the world for communications courses, the University of Texas is pretty good at maths too, jumping a place from last year to be joint 21st.
21 (joint). The Australian National University: 84.8 — The only Australian university to make the list, this institution jumps ten places from last year to joint 21st place. The ANU is based in Australia's capital, Canberra.
