A senior thesis allows students to explore areas of mathematics that are new to them, to develop the skill of working independently on a project, and to synthesize and present a substantive work to the academic community. Thesis proposals are normally developed in consultation with the student's research committee, which consists of the student's faculty supervisor and two other faculty members. This committee is involved in the final evaluation of the project. The results of the project are presented in a public seminar and/or written in a publishable form.
