The aim of this course is to provide students with an opportunity to work on a project in a small group setting together with an AMS faculty member. Projects can be varied in nature depending on the faculty member working with a group. The goal of a group could be to develop knowledge of a domain area in which mathematics is applied, to develop knowledge of some technique(s) in applied mathematics, to bring applied mathematics to bear on some application, or to develop knowledge in some foundational topic in mathematics. Faculty will present possible topics to students in the first week of classes. Students will be asked to rank their interests (first choice, second choice, etc.), and will provide their schedules. Based on their preferences, their schedules, and subject to group size limitations, students will be organized into groups of size at most 3, and will be assigned to course sections in the second week of classes. One faculty member will lead each section and will arrange to meet with the group once per week for an hour.
