MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, often called as one of the world's most prestigious universities.

 Founded in 1861 in response to the increasing industrialization of the United States, MIT adopted a European polytechnic university model and stressed laboratory instruction in applied science and engineering. Researchers worked on computers, radar, and inertial guidance during World War II and the Cold War. Post-war defense research contributed to the rapid expansion of the faculty.

The Institute is traditionally known for its research and education in the physical sciences and engineering, and more recently in biology, economics, linguistics, and management as well. For several years, MIT's School of Engineering has been ranked first in various international and national university rankings, and the Institute is also often ranked among the world's top universities overall. The «Engineers» compete in 31 sports.

The school has a strong entrepreneurial culture, and the aggregated revenues of companies founded by MIT alumni would rank as the eleventh-largest economy in the world.

MIT has five schools and one college, and it has 32 academic departments. MIT students, graduates, and faculty members are famous for giving many awards, including 76 Nobel Prizes. The most popular major is engineering.

Name of know scientists printed on a façade of building: Aristotle, Newton,  Pasteur, Lavoisier, Faraday, Archimedes, Leonardo da Vinci, Darwin, and Copernicus; second side - Boyle, Cavendish, Priestley, Dalton, Gay Lussac, Berzelius, Woehler, Liebig, Bunsen, Mendelejeff [sic], Perkin, and van't Hoff. Here, Alan Guth developed the idea of cosmic inflation in 1979 at Cornell University and gave his first seminar on the subject in January 1980.

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE

The University of Cambridge (informally Cambridge University or simply - Cambridge) is a collegiate public research university in Cambridge, England, often regarded as one of the most prestigious universities in the world. It founded in 1209. Cambridge is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world. The university grew out of an association of scholars who left the University of Oxford after a dispute with the townspeople. The two ancient universities share many common features and are often referred to jointly as «Oxbridge».

Cambridge formed from a variety of institutions, which include 31 constituent colleges and over 100 academic departments organized into six schools. Cambridge University Press, a department of the university, is the world's oldest publishing house and the second-largest university press in the world. The university also operates eight cultural and scientific museums, including the Fitzwilliam Museum, and a botanic garden. Cambridge's libraries hold around 15 million books, eight million of which are in Cambridge University Library, a legal deposit library.

The university closely linked with the development of the high-tech business cluster known as «Silicon Fen».

Cambridge consistently ranked as the top university in the United Kingdom. The university has educated many notable alumni, including eminent mathematicians, scientists, politicians, lawyers, philosophers, writers, actors, and foreign Heads of State. Ninety-five Nobel laureates, 15 British prime ministers and ten Fields medalists have affiliated with Cambridge as students, faculty, or alumni.

  Know scientists:   Paul Dirac, Stephen Hawking, John Herschel and Georges Lemaitre found out many things about the universe, from the Big Bang to black holes (astronomy); Charles Darwin (theory about natural selection). Fred Hoyle, which discovered word «Big Bang», opened nuclear synthesis and sure in «Stationary State» of the Universe, studied here.

Now, Cambridge and MIT have debates for «Big Bang» theory. When something tells about «Big Bang», usually tell, what was after. Unknowns, what banged? why banged? what was before bang?  

UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD

The University of Oxford (informally Oxford University or simply Oxford) is a collegiate research university located in Oxford, England. It has no known date of foundation, but there is evidence of teaching as far back as 1096, making it the oldest university in the English-speaking world. It grew rapidly from 1167 when Henry II banned English students from attending the University of Paris. After disputes between students and Oxford townsfolk in 1209, some academics fled north-east to Cambridge where they established what the University of Cambridge became. The two «ancient universities» frequently jointly referred to as «Oxbridge».

The university make up of a variety of institutions, including 38 constituent colleges and a full range of academic departments, which organize into four divisions. All the colleges are self-governing institutions within the university, each controlling its own membership and with its own internal structure and activities. Being a city university, it does not have a main campus; instead, its buildings and facilities are scattered throughout the city centre. Most undergraduate teaching at Oxford organizes around weekly tutorials at the colleges and halls, supported by classes, lectures and laboratory work provided by university faculties and departments.

Oxford is the home of the Rhodes Scholarship, one of the world's oldest and most prestigious scholarships, which has brought graduate students to study at the university for more than a century. The university operates the world's oldest university museum, as well as the largest university press in the world and the largest academic library system in Britain.
