数学论文
会议时间
我们每周二上午11点见面.m.
为什么要选论文??
A full year of either Senior 论文 (Math 197) or 数学诊所 (Math 193) is required for the mathematics major.
Senior thesis offers the student, 由指导老师指导, a chance to experience a taste of the life of a professional research mathematician. The work is largely independent with guidance from the research advisor. 相比之下， 数学诊所项目 is designed to offer students the opportunity to develop the modeling and analysis tools necessary to solve applied problems under conditions closely approximated to an industrial setting. 学生 work in groups under the guidance of a faculty advisor and an industrial liaison.
Junior math majors are encouraged to talk to later-year students and their faculty advisors to determine which program will best suit their needs. 学生 should also look through some past senior theses and 诊所 projects; these are 存档 on the math department’s website. 一定要看看 list of current thesis students 以及他们网站的链接.

我如何注册?
Juniors thinking about writing a thesis should go to the 数学研究page and look at faculty research areas to choose possible advisors for a thesis project.
You’ll get a copy of the Capstone 研究 Experience preference/application form from the faculty in February—fill it in and submit it to the department for review.
论文项目的想法
You’ll need to choose a topic area and advisor for a thesis project. While completing original mathematical research is highly desirable, doing so is not a requirement of a senior thesis project.
If you have an idea that’s not already listed under the 数学研究page, talk to potential advisors as well as other faculty from the Claremont Colleges who may share your interests! 以前的高级论文 may also be a good source of ideas or other inspiration.
External 论文 Advisors, Advisors, and Second Readers
Each thesis student has an advisor and a second reader. If you wish to do research with an advisor who is not in the HMC mathematics department,
- Your thesis must have sufficient mathematical content
- You will need a second reader who is a Mudd math professor
To get an outside advisor approved, submit a petition to the department via the department chair describing your planned research project and the level of its mathematical content. You will need to include the name and contact information of your project’s external faculty advisor, as well as the name of the Mudd professor who has agreed to serve as your second reader.
