Math/CS 299/399 | Colloquium in Mathematics & Computer Science I & II | Spring 02018 | |
Paper ProjectOverviewMy goal is for you to explore some area of mathematics or computer science that is of interest to you. You will write a paper that is 1000-1500 words on a topic related to mathematics or computer science that you find interesting. The topic and style of the paper is up to you, but I suggest some of the following styles:
This paper must be distinct from a similar paper you may have written for another course. You should come see me to make sure you topic meets the course requirements. Unlike speaker summaries which contain both a summary and a critique, your paper focus on content. Include a bibliography of your reference material. Your paper must be written using the LaTeX computer typesetting system. This allows you to easily include mathematical notation in text. MiKTeX is an up-to-date free LaTeX implementation for the Windows operating system. DeliverablesA printed paragraph (roughly 200 words) describing the topic and scope of your paper must be given to me by the due date. You should include a statement of the importance of the topic and why it is of interest to you. After reading your proposal, I may suggest you broaden, narrow, or possibly change your topic. Once your topic is agreed upon, you will need to consult me regarding any changes you might want to make later in the term. Submit a hardcopy of your paper.
