MMath Project (846G1)
45 credits, Level 7 (Masters)
Autumn and spring teaching
For this project, you'll bring together what you've learned up to Year 3 and what you're learning now in Year 4. You'll focus on a deep dive into a Master's-level math topic and write a detailed report about it. The report will be written using TeX or LaTeX, a tool specifically designed for formatting math documents. Along the way, you'll develop important skills like using technology and databases for math, presenting math topics clearly, finding reliable information, and working with online scientific libraries.
