The Advanced Writing Requirement in Mathematics

Section 3: The Senior Comprehensive Paper

The student prepares her paper under the direction of her project advisor. When it is complete and acceptable to the advisor, she prepares three copies for her examining committee.

Following the Senior Comprehensive oral examination, the student will meet with her advisor or all members of the committee (the advisor will choose the most practical route) to find out if the paper requires revision. If it does, the student will make the revisions and give a revised copy to her advisor. The advisor will monitor the revision process and notify the student when her paper is acceptable.
