MATH 450: GUIDELINES FOR THE POSTER
Spring 2013
You are expected to prepare a poster on the same topic used for your final project.
This poster will be presented at the annual campus-wide Undergraduate Scholarship
Poster Session held in April.
The poster should be an overview of your work. Show the main ideas and
highlights of your project. Remember that most of the audience will not have much
mathematical background, so don’t be overly technical. Be sure to credit your faculty
sponsor.
Try to make your poster visually appealing. Use pictures and graphics as much as
possible. (No one wants to read a lot of print or calculations.) Make the printing large
enough to read from a few feet away. Using color, both for the images and for the
backgrounds, can enhance your presentation.

1. Thursday Feb. 21: Submit a one-page proposal. You should include a title, an
