Which is the best university for Maths?

Warwick is grossly overrated for Maths. Just because they mention Step in their offer, they are respected far more.
After ringing Warwick, I discovered that the Step part of their offer is pratically redundant. Warwick is very much undersubscribed for Maths.

They can't be that undersubscribed, as only Oxbridge and Imperial have a higher average A level entry score. I'd like to check the UCAS statistics for applicants per place, but I can't download the dataset from this computer. The Statistics department has a 6* rating for research, which isn't bad. Suppose that isn't strictly Maths though!

If they're undersubscribed then why was I waiting 3 months for a reply to my application?

They're not undersubscribed, someone is talking crap.
Bigcnee
Maybe. That's what I did.
I remember at the open day the admissions tutor asked "so, how many people here are applying to oxford or cambridge?" and virtually everyone stuck their hand up! I guess that if a sizeable number of these people get offers and secure their places then Warwick might be in trouble if they end up as insurance choices for lots of candidates.

You'd think, but Bath had to increase its ask to AAA after too many acceptances last year.

But Bath has that "best uni for maths in the league tables" thing going for it 
as does warwick....
Bigcnee
Where?
In most league tables. sorry, i read your comment wrong - i dont necessarily mean it's number 1 in the league tables, but warwick is pretty high up there with bath.

Bath are really picky with their selections - my two mates got rejected even though they were likely to make the entry grades (AAB)

Personally, I think Cambridge is the best university for mathematics in UK.
What's your opinion? I mean undergraduate.

Cambridge STEP Papers required
S, 1, 2, 3 and U grades with common offers being AAB and STEP 1, 2 although it is quite common for some to get asked for 1,1.
Oxford, Warwick, Imperial, Durham, Nottingham are all just as good.
China is the best place to do maths

China is the best place to do maths
Yes, but the "maths" in the UK is only a subject of social science including quite many applied topics while that in China is rather pure. It cannot be simply compared here, as it may depend on the preferences of students, to have a more thorough study in Maths or to regard it as a stepping stone in the job market.
