Seniors conduct research into one particular area of mathematics, and produce a major paper by the end of the year. Seniors have frequent individual meetings with the instructor, who helps guide their research.
Notes
All students periodically present their individual work to the group.

MA 321 - Mathematics Seminar 3
Credits: (1 credit)
Each semester every mathematics major takes the seminar course, which meets for one hour per week. First-year, sophomore and junior students receive one credit per semester, while seniors receive two credits per semester. The courses are numbered: MA 121-122, Math Seminar I; MA 221-222, Math Seminar 2; MA 321-322, Math Seminar 3; and MA 421-422, Math Seminar 4. Meetings consist of presentations by students, faculty and guest lecturers, discussions of common readings, problem sessions, and various other activities. The purpose of the seminar is to expose students to the culture of mathematics, and to encourage them to make connections that are not obvious in the context of standard single-topic courses. Additional topics of discussion may include career options for math majors or graduate school opportunities. Assignments are tailored to the class level of the student. First-year students will supplement their calculus course material to help prepare them for more advanced work. Sophomores learn the basic language, concepts, and techniques of abstract mathematics, including in particular how to construct an argument. Juniors extend their knowledge by reading broadly in the mathematical literature at the appropriate level. Seniors conduct research into one particular area of mathematics, and produce a major paper by the end of the year. Seniors have frequent individual meetings with the instructor, who helps guide their research.
