Overview
MATH 495/MATH 496 is based on a contracted study arrangement between the student and an approved supervisor. Students improve their skills to choose and define problems, obtain information from libraries or experiments, organize facts and ideas, and report ideas and conclusions in written form.
These courses are for students who wish to carry out projects in mathematics or to obtain formal recognition of mathematics-related skills and training they received on the job. Students may do one three-credit project (MATH 495) or two three-credit projects (MATH 495 and MATH 496). Before registering for MATH 495 or MATH 496, students must submit an acceptable project proposal. These courses are excluded from the challenge for credit policy.
Course Materials
Special Instructional Feature
MATH 495 or MATH 496 may involve library, field or lab work as agreed to by the student and the supervisor. Students are expected to obtain and pay for all materials used in the projects. Project supervisors may be paid an honorarium by the University for their services.
