All senior math majors at the University of La Verne are required to complete a Senior Project to fulfill the requirements for graduation. This body of work is expected to be 1) the solution of a research problem, either in pure or applied mathematics, or mathematics education, or 2) an expository study of a mathematical or mathematics education topic that you have not formally studied in a previous course.
The Senior Project demonstrates that students have been interactive with upper level mathematics or mathematics education, on an independent basis, under the guidance of a faculty advisor. Through this activity, they gain experience in:
- reading professionally written mathematical or mathematics education articles;
- developing proficiency in coherent mathematical writing;
- learning how to analyze and synthesize in expository projects; and
- effectively communicating the findings of the project in both oral and written format.
Math seniors are evaluated according to mathematical or mathematics education content, exposition, and effort.
Take a look at some Senior Projects below and visit the Math Senior Projects Titles and Abstracts.
