ISI vs CMI
Hello seniors and others who'd like to contribute, I need some help deciding between ISI bmath and CMI bs math + CS.
My primary goal is to get into pure math research and land the job of a professor, while also looking for industry jobs on the side for safety.
My current interest lies somewhere in analysis. I started self studying higher mathematics about 2 years ago, I thoroughly enjoyed linear algebra (from LADR), single variable RA (from baby rudin) and am currently working through measure theory/func analysis from follands book (which has also been super fun). I tried getting into topology (munkres) and multivariable RA (spivaks calc on manifolds) but did not enjoy them as much. So though I am not to deep into functional analysis yet, I have a strong feeling that I'll enjoy working in some field that makes use of it.
Based on all that (and anything else you'd like to ask), what should I pick and why? I was also thinking of visiting the campuses physically once, is that a good idea? Thank you for your time
