Nature of Math Project Topics

Introduction

We will require that there be no duplicate topics chosen within each section of this class, and will give out these topics on a first-come/first-served basis, as determined by the time of your email request. Please note, this request must include the list of members in your group; each group should only send one such request.

Along with this request, you also need to say which day you want to give your presentation. Since there will only be three presentations per day, these will also be allotted on a first-come/first-served basis, as above.

Note:Your presentation cannot be scheduled that chapter containing your topic has been covered in class.
