Catalog description: This course, with a change of topic, may be repeated for credit. Three credits.

Unofficial description: The Undergraduate Seminar or “Math Scholars Course” is a course on a topic we do not cover in our regularly scheduled courses. The topic for the course each semester is based on faculty proposals, so it varies from semester to semester.
