What is Math Investigations?
Math Investigations is an optional program open to students in MATH 121 and MATH 122. The class meets for 50 minutes every week, for 7 weeks per semester, to work on questions in small groups under the guidance of two undergrad TAs. The classes are less formal than typical tutorials, and explore ideas outside of the material covered in lecture. The program gives students the opportunity to work together to apply math that they’ve learned to more challenging problems, and develop some new problem solving techniques. It is suitable for students of all backgrounds and strengths. Above all, Math Investigations strives to give students conceptually-stimulating math problems in a friendly and personal setting.
