More Information
Summary:The senior seminar is a capstone writing intensive course with the purpose of introducing students to independent mathematical study. Topics cover material beyond what is normally covered in required courses in depth and/or breadth. Within this broad description there is leeway in the ways students cover material and in what they cover. The seminar has shown a pronounced change over time that reflects changes in program emphasis and interests of both faculty and students. * This paper is an invited paper from the Contributed Paper Session on The Undergraduate Seminar in Mathematics at the New Orleans Joint AMS/AMA Mathematics Meetings, 10-13 January 2001.
