Unit Aims
To give students an opportunity to study an advanced topic of their choice in signifcant breadth and depth over an extended period of time, working more or less independently, and to develop experience of report-writing, oral presentation and poster presentation.
Unit Description
There is a very wide range of topics available. Full details are given in the project handbook.
The projects are very variable, and no general statement of mathematical learning objectives is possible. See below under Transferable Skills.
Transferable Skills:
Self-directed study; library research and use of the mathematical literature; time management; report writing; oral presentation.
Guidance from supervisor, leading to independent study with further discussion with supervisor as necessary. Skills training is provided early in teaching block 1; details are in the project handbook, available on the handbook webpage.
The student produces a written report (contributing 80% of the final assessment mark), produces a poster (contributing 10% of the final assessment mark) and gives a short talk (contributing 10% of the final assessment mark). The dates for submission of the written report and poster are in the project handbook, available on the handbook webpage. The dates for the project talks will be published in the Blackboard course "MATHS_PROJECTS", and emailed to all enrolled students.
There is no set reading for this unit.
