Managing mathematical projects -- with success! (English)
0 references
The author states that ``This book is intended for both undergraduate students and their staff as a guide to individual projects, group projects and case studies in mathematics. It covers all aspects of setting up projects and their assessment. The bulk of the text is devoted to giving worked examples of various kinds of projects. The book consists of five chapters followed by three lengthy examples of students' work on the projects: Galois Theory, Algebraic Curves, and Water Waves on a Sloping Beach. The first five chapters concern: 1) organization, 2) assessment, 3) individual projects (for example, non-Euclidean geometry), 4) group projects (for example, Fourier transforms), and 5) case studies (for example, optimization). The book is intended to be a ``useful resource for lecturers and project advisors looking for ideas on how to devise, assess and manage projects''.
