Senior Honors Thesis

The senior honors thesis provides an educational enhancement opportunity for interested students.  Students work one-on-one with a mathematics professor to research and report on a mathematics topic not normally covered in the traditional undergraduate curriculum.  Students considering this option should discuss the possiblity with a mathematics advisor during their junior year.  Further information about the senior honors thesis can be found at this link.   The following is a list of recent mathematics theses.
