Math 599
Selected Topics in Mathematics
Math 599 is a flexible-credit course, and is used to award credit for activities that do not fit in our regular course offerings. Some of these activities are given below.
The Department Chair's Section
For each hour of credit, the student will attend a talk and write a brief report on the talk. The talk can be a seminar or colloquium talk in the Department of Mathematics. If the talk is not in the Department of Mathematics (for example, in engineering, physics, biology, economics, …), the talk needs to be related to mathematics or be a potential application of mathematics. Within one week after attending the talk, the student will turn in a one or two page written report addressing the questions raised in the talk, what strategies were used to answer the questions raised in the talk, and how the material was presented. The report should also discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the presentation. (Detailed instructions)
