Structuring Undergraduate Research in Abstract Algebra
Keith E. Mellinger, Hisaya Tsutsui · Missouri Journal of Mathematical Sciences · 2006
We discuss some general methods for structuring undergraduate research projects. As an example, we follow a project which occurred between the two authors who at one time had the student-advisor relationship. We discuss realistic goals of undergraduate research, reflect on the methods and outcomes of our project, and suggest ideas for future work with undergraduates.
