As a senior math major you will complete the senior seminar, in which you will have the opportunity to explore an area of mathematics that interests you. You will need an advisor to direct you, and you will need to have your topic approved by the department. The purposes of Senior Seminar I are for you to identify a topic, find an advisor, and prepare a proposal. With those preliminaries out of the way, you will be able to start on your project right away when you take Senior Seminar II. To give you the tools you need to write your proposal and your project report, we will also learn a bit about the mathematical typesetting software LaTeX.
Please note: If you are a double major, and if your second major requires that you do a senior project with a mathematical component, you do not have to do a senior project in math as well. Just make sure you end up with enough math credits to fulfill the degree requirements, and please submit the attached project proposal form describing your project.
