MX4023: PROJECT (2020-2021)

Last modified: 05 Aug 2021 13:04


Course Overview

The 4th year project is a good opportunity to do some research in an area of mathematics which is not covered in any other course. A choice of project topics will be made available to students before the start of the semester. Students will be expected to have regular meetings with their project supervisor. A written report should be submitted at the end of the course, with a presentation taking place shortly afterwards. Students should be able to demonstrate in the project that they have a good understanding of the topic they covered, often through working out examples.

Course Description

The course co-ordinator will distribute a list of topics for students to choose from. Students will indicate their preferences; the course co-ordinator will assign topics and supervisors based on these preferences and on staff workload. Requests to work on a topic of the student's own choice are acceptable, but this request will only be granted if the topic is regarded as appropriate and if suitable supervision is available.
