Sommario/riassunto |
|
Unsure of where to begin on mathematical research? This volume provides accessible and self-contained research problems designed for undergraduate student projects, and simultaneously promotes the development of sustainable undergraduate research programs. The chapters in this work span a variety of topical areas of pure and applied mathematics and mathematics education. Each chapter gives a self-contained introduction on a research topic with an emphasis on the specific tools and knowledge needed to create and maintain fruitful research programs for undergraduates. Some of the topics discussed include: • Disease modeling • Tropical curves and surfaces • Numerical semigroups • Mathematics Education This volume will primarily appeal to undergraduate students interested in pursuing research projects and |
