InstructionThe course MA 499 should conclude with a final research report that introduces the subject of the research project, provides relevant background knowledge, and details students' contributions towards the aims of the project. If appropriate, the report should also discuss project goals that were not completed and questions that could be the subject of future research. The research report should be written using LaTeX and must include a bibliography. The length of the report may vary from project to project and is subject to the approval of the research advisor. Anything in the range of 15-50 pages may be appropriate. It is recommended that students begin writing their research report relatively early in the semester to allow plenty of time for feedback and revisions.
