Other Information This course code is used for a variety of special topics classes offered to advanced mathematics students. The topics vary from semester to semester, and interested students should seek advice from the course convener. The specific assessment tasks will vary from topic to topic, but may include written problem sets; oral presentation of material; written reports; or seminar talks. The topics for each semester will be listed on the MSI webpage during O-Week for the relevant semester, and students will also find there details (location or Zoom link) for an informational meeting held at 10:00 am on the first Monday of the semester.
