MTH 975 - CUE: Directed Research

Course unit(s): 1
Prerequisite(s): MTH 240 Transition to Abstract Mathematics , departmental and instructor approval.
Students will design, execute, and complete a mathematical research project which involves at most two students. This project will be supervised by a department faculty member. A project can involve original research initiated at Muhlenberg or it may be a follow-up independent study to extend summer work completed during a Research Experience for Undergraduates. A CUE project must be formally proposed by the student(s) and approved by the department by the end of spring semester of the junior year. Project requirements will include a paper detailing the mathematical work completed and a presentation at an appropriate local/regional/national mathematics’ meeting outside of Muhlenberg, as well as any additional requirements imposed by the faculty supervisor. Open only to mathematics majors who are completing their last two semesters in which they registered for classes on campus.
