Harvey Mudd College is a highly selective undergraduate institution of science, engineering and mathematics; the average SAT score of entering students is over 1480. More than one-third of the student body are National Merit Finalists, and one year of high school calculus is a requirement for admission. Each year there are over 20 graduates in mathematics, with approximately half going to graduate school. Over 40% of mathematics alumni from HMC have obtained a PhD degree. The college enrolls about 650 students and is a member of the Claremont College consortium, which includes four other undergraduate colleges (Pomona, Claremont McKenna, Scripps, Pitzer) and two graduate institutions (Claremont Graduate University and Keck Graduate Institute of the Applied Life Sciences), forming an academic community of about 5000 students. There is an active and vital research community of over 40 mathematicians in Claremont, with faculty seminars in analysis, topology, combinatorics, and applied mathematics.
Claremont is situated approximately 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, in the foothills of the San Gabriel mountains. The community is known for its tree-lined streets and village charm. It is an easy drive from Claremont to the cultural attractions of the greater Los Angeles area, as well as the ocean, mountains and deserts of southern California.
