General Information:
- Each student is required to participate in a group project.
- These projects will have both a written and an oral component.
- The last week of classes (December 2-4) will be reserved for oral presentations, and the written part is to be turned in the day the oral part is presented. The written part is to be a reflection about the process of doing research on your own in Mathematics.
- These projects can be based on interesting problems or applications that were considered in class, but which were not resolved, or they can be chosen from the topics in Sections 48-66 in the textbook, or they can be on almost any topic (related to the course material) which has captured your interest.
- All topics must be approved in advance by me and all projects must be completed by the assigned presentation date.
- All participants in a group project will get the same grade on that work, so it is important that each person in the group participate fully and equally.
- Attendance during the project presentations is mandatory for everyone in the class. Each absence during the presentation period will reduce your course grade by 2/3 letter.
