Independent Study. 1-

Catalog description

Students independently pursue a specific topic in advanced mathematics under a faculty member's supervision. The problems addressed in the course will be mutually selected and approved by the student and a mathematics faculty member. A thorough development of necessary axioms, definitions and properties from any related coursework will be reviewed before students are guided to extend those elements towards the main results from the chosen topic. These results may be practical applications of prior coursework and/or theoretical foundations of an advanced topic, specific to the students' individual needs and goal. Variable Credit (1 to 3). Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
