We see a growing interest in the philosophy of …

Bringing Undergraduate Research Into The Classroom, Stephen Lovett

ACMS Conference Proceedings 2011

Without doing a senior research thesis or landing an official REUs, students do not regularly gain experience in or an appreciation for research. Courses in the humanities regularly require students to write in the discipline, progressively preparing them methodologically for “writing in the field.” This begs the question: could math departments do a little more to prepare our students to use mathematics beyond college?
