Handbook - Mathematics/Statistics Project

There is a more recent version of this academic item available.

Overview

This course enables the student to undertake an investigation into a specific area of mathematics and statistics under the supervision of a member of staff from the School of Mathematics & Statistics. The project will include reading and/or research on a topic in Mathematics or Statistics or on applications of Mathematics or Statistics to other disciplines such as physical, biological or social sciences, Economics, Finance, Computing, etc. The project may, but does not require, the production of original results. The student will develop basic research skills such as literature reviews and citation tracing, placing the work in the current context of mathematics and statistics, mathematical insight and analysis as well as technical writing and presentation. The student is expected to write an essay/report summarising the results of their project.

Note: Available only to students taking Mathematics majors and with permission from the School - see the School of Mathematics and Statistics website for details.
