The seminar will discuss problems from all areas of mathematics. Students will learn problem-solving techniques, will combine some of the seemingly disparate parts of their mathematics background, and will gain an appreciation for new areas of mathematics, by looking at some of the fundamental questions that illustrate the key ideas. There will be emphasis on student participation in all aspects of the course, including the posing of questions and the presentation and analysis of solutions. Evaluation will be based primarily on problem sets, oral presentations contributions to class discussions, and written analyses of proposed solutions. Prerequisites: one of Mathematics 301, 305, and one of Mathematics 312, 315, 317, and one additional Mathematics course numbered 240 or higher; or permission of instructor.
