Your project consists of a short presentation and a written paper on a topic of your choice.
The presentation will be about 10 minutes long, unless you're a graduate student in which
case it'll be longer. The writeup should be (more or less) a transcript of your presentation,
plus anything else that you feel like putting in. It's due the day of your presentation.

Tips for your presentation:

State the problem or theorem clearly! I can't emphasize this enough.
Prepare pictures, graphs, diagrams and such ahead of time. Multi-media is encouraged!
Come practice your talk for me at least three days before your scheduled presentation.

Here is a schedule.
