History of Mathematics
Students wishing to do a dissertation based on the History of Mathematics should contact Dr Chris Hollings at @email by Wednesday of week 1 with a short draft proposal. Dr Hollings will contact you to arrange a short informal interview to discuss the proposal further.
All decisions made by Dr Hollings will be communicated to students by the end of week 2.
All proposals supported by Dr Hollings will then be referred to Projects Committee who meet in week 4 for final approval. With the support of Dr Hollings students must submit a COD Dissertation Proposal Form to Projects Committee by the end of week 3 (pdf at the bottom of the page).
Students whose proposal is not supported by Dr Hollings will be given the option to submit a ranked list of dissertation choices via an online form by 12noon on Friday of week 3. You will need to submit 6 choices, and will be given the opportunity to explain if there is a particular reason why you would like to do a specific topic. This is optional for Part C students and compulsory for students on the M.Sc in Mathematical Sciences.
