Title of TalkUndergraduate Mathematics Research for the Masses
AbstractAt Wartburg College, like many liberal arts colleges, all math majors are required to complete a capstone course with a research component. However, research means different things at different places and not all students are advanced enough for rigorous independent research. How can one provide a mathematical research experience to an entire class that challenges the best students without leaving behind the weaker students? I will present my solution to this question and promise to leave enough time at the end for other people to share their suggestions.
