In the class we don't do math as much as we talk about doing math and the culture of mathematics. The class will include lectures by students, faculty and visitors on a wide variety of topics, and opportunities to talk with mathematicians about their lives. This course is especially helpful for those considering graduate school in the mathematical sciences. Prerequisites: MTH 211, MTH 212, and two additional mathematics courses at the 200 level, or permission of the instructor. May be repeated once for credit. This course is graded satisfactory/unsatisfactory only.
