Course Description
This is a course where we will examine a number of different problems or big theorems from a variety of different fields of mathematics. Through the semester we will work through a book which covers in each chapter a different problem from a different area of mathematics, and students will read material independently and present to each other in weekly meetings. The style of the work for the course will mimic a directed reading or undergraduate research in mathematics.Textbook: Aigner, Ziegner Proofs from the Book (free access on library.nd)
Credits: This course can be taken for 1, 2, or 3 credits.
- 1 credit: student presentations
- 2 credits: in addition to student presentations, a 5-page final paper
- 2 credits: in addition to student presentations, a 10-page final paper
Final grade: The final grade is computed as a weighted average of the components of the course, weighted by their respective credit numbers.
