This course work must include 15 semester hours at the 300 level or higher. The project will include a written report and an accompanying public presentation. The student should learn some mathematics outside the classroom setting. The student should synthesize material obtained from different sources. The student should clearly communicate, orally and in writing, what he or she has learned.
Students are responsible for choosing a project and a supervisor.
The project must be approved by the supervisor and by the Undergraduate Committee. Upon committee approval, the supervisor will arrange the public presentation. Information about acceptable types of projects will be available in the division office. Students who double-major in Mathematics and another discipline are allowed to meet the Capstone Integrating Experience requirement in the other discipline provided it requires a Capstone Integrating Experience. This program is designed to provide its students a strong mathematics background in pure or applied mathematics so that they can successfully continue graduate study at the PhD level or pursue leadership positions in mathematics-related professions in academic, industrial, or governmental environments.
