About Math 1300
The description in the class roster gives a good summary of this course. Math 1300 is "for students who wish to experience how mathematical ideas naturally evolve. The course emphasizes ideas and imagination rather than techniques and calculations. Homework involves students in actively investigating mathematical ideas. Topics vary depending on the instructor. Some assessment through writing assignements."

Poster Project
The poster project is a chance for students to explore some aspect of mathematics on their own. Some instructors have chosen to use the project to emphasize the human side of mathematics. Others have asked students to focus on explaining some piece of mathematics not covered in the course.
