This list is dramatically incomplete, and the maintainer (obryant at gmail dot com) would appreciate any additions. The criteria is that the school must be accredited and must have a faculty member with mathematics publications. Drive times were generated by Google maps, and do not account for public transportation, traffic, construction, et cetera.
