Math 492 - Junior-Senior Honors Seminar

General Information (Catalog listing)

Undergraduate Mathematics Seminar
Reading, presentation, and discussion of mathematical topics.

This is an honors-level seminar. The topics discussed in the seminar vary from semester to semester. Minimal course prerequisites are linear algebra and multivariable calculus (math 250 and 251/291). Higher level courses such as math 350 (linear algebra II), 351 or 451 (algebra), or 356 (number theory) are helpful, but are not explicitly required.

Admission to the Junior-Senior Honors Seminar is by special permission. All students in the mathematics honors track are automatically admitted; other students are invited to participate in the seminar based on recommendations by mathematics faculty. The students in the seminar participate actively by contributing to discussions, making presentations in the seminar, and collaborating with other students in preparing talks.

Questions may be addressed to the director of the Honors Track, Simon Thomas.
