MAT 105 - First Year Seminar in Mathematics (1)

This first year seminar is designed for students who would like to experience the creativity and beauty of significant mathematical ideas through the process of mathematical discovery. While the ideas investigated will not require significant previous mathematical experience (three years of high school mathematics is sufficient) the first-year seminar demands mathematical curiosity, enthusiasm and flexibility, as the ideas to be investigated will be challenging. Students interested in majoring in mathematics are encouraged to take this seminar even though it does not count for the major because they will be exposed to ideas that are not covered elsewhere in the curriculum. See Topics Courses. Prerequisite: Three years of high school mathematics.
