Description
The senior research project represents the culmination of the student’s work in mathematics. Emphasis will be on understanding a relevant research topic in mathematics in an area that is unfamiliar to the student, beyond the undergraduate curriculum, and of interest to the mathematics and/or physics communities and on developing effective oral and written presentation. Each student will work with a faculty member on a research topic of the faculty member’s choice. Each student will be required to complete both a written and an oral report. The written report will include bibliographical references in a professional forum. Both the written and oral report will be reviewed by the entire department. Computer programming may also be required.
