lakehead mathematics honours program

the department of mathematical sciences offers an honours bachelor of science and and an honours bachelor of arts.

as a requirement for an honours degree in mathematics, 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 are required to take math 4301 (honours seminar).  starting in 2010,  all 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 who wish to graduate with an honours degree in mathematics are required to write a project on a topic of mathematics. 

compiled below is a list of resources for 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 in this program.  世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 in other programs may also find this list useful.

latex resources

as part of this course, you will learn how to use latex, a typesetting program for mathematics. here are some resources for you:

latex templates

here are latex templates that you should use for your honours projects.

math writing resources

here's some information to help you with your math writing.

math talks resources

here's some information to help you with your math talks:

online math resources

since you will need to hunt out your own resources, here's how to find information.
  • mathscinet this is a mathematician's favourite tool! you need to be on campus to access this one. you can access it at home, but you need to go through the library.
  • math arxiv preprint server preprints of papers, freely available. since these papers haven't been referred, treat with caution (many are fine, but there are incorrect papers on the arxiv).
  • google scholar a good source of information, but lots of "noise". for math, mathscinet is better.
  • if you are looking for a research topic, you may want to check out the following journals:
  • student mathematical library the american mathematical society has put together a nice series of books on topics accessible to advanced undergraduates. lakehead's library has many of these books.
  • springer link is a publisher of advanced math books. many of the books you can download free through lakehead's library, or buy a print-on-demand copy for cheap ($25).
  • still stuck finding a topic? you can always browse the list of mathematics topics on wikipedia to get you going.
