I will try to keep this page updated once topics have been taken.  Students may work in pairs or as individuals on their final project. There will be at most one group/topic.  You are responsible for submitting a detailed explanation of all the material in the section along with a problem set from the section.  For the problem set, your grade will be scaled as a fraction of the total number of problems.  Other topics may be used, but they require my approval.  This is on a first-come basis.  I will make no special accommodations for a student who has no topics left they like, or wants a partner but cannot find one.  Finally I will also make no special accommodations for a student whose partner drops the course.
