MATH 8996 – MSc project 1

This is a project course exclusively for students enrolled in the Course-based MSc program. Students must submit a written report, on the order of 40 to 60 pages, which can be a survey of a topic in mathematics, for instance. This course is taken under the supervision of a faculty member. Course graded pass/fail.

MATH 8998 – MSc project 2

This is a project course exclusively for students enrolled in the teaching track of the Course-based MSc program. Students must submit a written report, on the order of 20-30 pages, which can be a survey of a topic in mathematics, for instance. In addition, students are required to teach one undergraduate course. This course is taken under the supervision of a faculty member. Course graded pass/fail.
