MATH 1850 - Freshman Seminar in Mathematics

1 cr. 1 hr. Day course offered every other year.

This course will consist of a series of talks given by members of the Mathematics community (either in academia or industry) demonstrating authentic mathematics with preparatory and follow-up work. The goal of the course is to present students with real-world applications of mathematics, research fields in mathematics, and pique their interests. It will introduce students to possible areas of study, careers, and the mathematics used in the talks. They are also introduced to background mathematics that will be used in the talks, which will give them motivation for a thorough grounding in mathematics.

Prerequisite(s): MATH 2300 which may be taken concurrently.
