Final Project
The final project consists of a short (1-2 pages) review of a book on mathematics or mathematical education. The review should be a description of the
book together with your own opinion about it. Some examples of such book
reviews can be found on the web, e.g.
http://mathdl.maa.org/mathDL/19/
Please submit your project proposal no later than on April 7. It should
consist of full bibliographic data of the book. It can be submitted by email or
in writing.
The review is due April 28.
