In 2005 the Math Department adopted a new senior project requirement of all of its majors. The senior project is implemented as a year-long course. Projects are developed and proposed by members of the math department. At the beginning of the Fall semester, students choose a project that interests them from a list of proposed projects and are consequently paired up with the department member that offered the project.
Throughout the Fall semester, the student works on the project independently with the guidance and advise of the department member. The student gathers information, develops theory and provides regular progress reports in both written and oral form. During the Spring semester, students distill their work from the Fall into a cohesive write-up and a final oral presentation.
This is a year-by-year archive of the final written portions of the senior projects.
