• A clarification about the written projects: I wasn't very clear about what the "first draft" was. This is not a "rough draft". It will be graded, and it shold be the best work that you can do. The reason there are two drafts is to give you an opportunity to get my comments and incorporate revisions based on those comments. Your final grade for the project will be based on both drafts.
• I've been asked to let you know about Vertices, Duke's undergraduate science magazine. I believe the deadline for submissions for this semester is December 1. Probably most of you saw the signs that were posted recently. Probably none of you has done any significant mathematical research, but you may be interested in submitting your written project from this class to the magazine if it turns out well. For more information, see here, or let me know and I will try to find out more details.
• I've also been asked to let you know about the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Fellows Program. This program, now in its 10th year, is designed to encourage students who are at the end of their first year of study and who are interested in majors and/or careers in the life sciences to explore their interests in greater depth than their first-year science courses might have allowed. It provides an 8-week research laboratory mentorship on campus, and includes a $3,300 stipend and housing on central campus. For more information, see last year's information here or contact me to get on the mailing list for the program.
