MTH (0144) 695 - Graduate Capstone in the Mathematical Sciences

Credits: 3.00

Students will complete an individual research paper or a project in mathematics. Students will have the opportunity to integrate the knowledge that they have gained from across the curriculum. Students will learn how mathematics evolves as a discipline, how to read and find relevant research papers, identify problems, research, and learn to write up results.

Free Note: Graduating majors only. 24 completed credits in the Master’s program. Open only to students in the MS in mathematics.

Students will:
●   Independently investigate an advanced topic in mathematics. This objective will be measured by the final project.
●
●   Synthesize research by writing a master’s paper, or a completing a project. This objective will be measured by the final project.

●   Formally present their work in both oral presentations and written reports. This objective will be measured by the progress reports, by produced deliverables, and by a public presentation at the end of the term.
