Problem Solving Workshop

Catalog description

This course is intended for undergraduate students who enjoy solving mathematical olympiad style problems. Typically, such problems are rather challenging and require considerable mathematical ingenuity, but only a modest background. The main objective of the course is to hone student's problem solving skills and to prepare them for mathematical contests. Students in the course are expected to participate in the local and national mathematical competitions. May be repeated up to 3 times or a maximum of 9 credits.
