In summary, the conversation discussed the best places to receive a maths degree, with Princeton and Trinity College Cambridge being mentioned as top choices. Other schools such as Harvard, MIT, Waterloo, U Chicago, Caltech, Maryland, and CMU-UPITTS were also considered. The discussion also touched on the importance of finding a school with the right advisor and the potential drawbacks of attending a prestigious university. There was also a brief debate about the academic standards of American universities compared to those in other countries. Finally, one person shared their personal experience of being given a maximum of three years for their degree due to already having a masters.

how about starting a different thread in another forum on those questions? this one has wandered a lot as it is and about the only thing we've decided is that comparing systems is fruitless and that it is not necessarily what the objects of study are but what you do to study them that is important.

that sounds reasonable, as it would be more self explanatory to people browsing. you might call it "future of math". i personally am not going to be able to enlighten much on it though. that needs a hilbert, and i suspect we do not have any right now. but people here make penrose sound interesting as a commentator.
