MATH 477 - Independent Research

2 Units
Working with faculty, the student selects a mathematical topic of interest. By midterm the student prepares a concise and clear abstract, a review of relevant published literature and a brief research proposal. By the end of the semester the student presents his or her independent work, some of which may consist of duplicating published results. The student is expected to present results in a semi-formal venue such as Undergraduate Research Day, oral presentations to faculty and/or a brief written report. Students are encouraged to select a topic for possible future graduate-level research.
