Course Overview

Studying mathematical topics, researching literature, solving relevant problems, and reporting clearly and rigorously on findings is the heart and soul of mathematics as an occupation. While these abilities are essential for a mathematician, they are also precious as general skills for a graduate who does not necessarily intends a mathematical career. A specialist topics, compatible with the student’s particular mathematical interests, will be chosen with the assistance of an assigned supervisor. The topic will be studied in depth and a dissertation will be written, which will be required to be mathematically rigorous, clearly presented and of a high standard throughout.
