Courses on topics of interest to mathematics students offered on the basis of need, interest, or timeliness. Prerequisites: as determined by the instructor. Restricted to students with freshman or sophomore standing. May be repeated for credit. For specific section description, click to the Section Details in VitNet.
Non-classroom experiences in the field of mathe- matics. Placements are off-campus, and may be full- or part-time, and with or without pay. Credit for experiences must be sought prior to occurance, and learning contracts must be submitted before the end of the first week of the semester. See the experiential learning: internship section of this catalog for more details. Restricted to students with freshman or sophomore standing. Graded CR/NC.
Independent reading and/or research under the guidance of a mathematics faculty member. Refer to the academic policy section for independent study policy. Independent study contract is required. May be repeated for credit.
