Here are the departments with the highest mean score across all the areas surveyed in the broad category of "Philosophy of the Sciences and Mathematics," meaning Philosophy of Science, Physics, Biology, Social Science, Cognitive Science, and Mathematics; as well as Mathematical Logic and Decision Theory/Rational Choice Theory/Game Theory. This measure, again, favors large departments (which can cover more of these areas), and draws no distinctions between the relative prestige or importance of the sub-fields.
