MTH4100 · Mathematics research studies

Overview

Completion of a 'project and research skills' component along with one lecture topic chosen from the fourth-year offerings as approved by the coordinator. A list of the fourth-year lecture and project topics is available at enrolment. The 'project and research skills' component can take one of two forms: • A major research project, in which you are expected to contribute new results to the field of mathematics; • A reading project, in which you complete your mathematical background, along with a series of modules to develop research skills. Both types of projects contain a literature review component.

Areas of study: Mathematics and statistics
