Topics for Math 300 term paper

I recommend that you search several of the following topics online to identify one that interests you. To claim a topic, join the corresponding group number in the course website in eCampus.

Everybody gets a unique topic. Once someone claims a topic, the corresponding group becomes unavailable to other students. So you are more likely to get your first choice if you sign up soon.
