Mathematical Research

Each senior mathematics major and minor is expected to research a topic of his or her choosing, in consultation with a faculty member. The research results in a short research and or expository paper and a presentation to faculty and other mathematics students in the Mathematics Colloquium.

Examples of past research topics:

• Formal Proof of the Existence of a Nash Equilibrium
• The Laplace Equation in a Disk and the Poisson integral Formula
• Laplace Inverse Transformations
• The Steiner Ellipse
• Proof of the Five Color Theorem
• Generating Functions
• Reflective Surfaces
