Research in the Mathematical Sciences

Education facts

Code: 5MA200

The course serves an introduction to studies in mathematics at the graduate level and research mathematics. One goal of the course is for students to learn how to read and integrate advanced and research-level mathematics, including strategic planning from a research perspective, and how to present this material in both written and oral form and in different modes or settings. The course also includes a treatment of the conventions and practices of mathematical research and applied mathematics, the ethical issues these entail, and tools to reflect critically about them.
