	Prof. Daryl Geller - Mondays and Fridays 12:40 - 2:00 p.m.

	This is a new 3 credit course whose aim is to give students an opportunity to develop their creativity and intuition in mathematics. Students will do carefully graded problems in several mathematical areas, some of which (for example geometry) will be already familiar. In others (such as problems in elementary number theory) the preparation needed will be minimal and will be provided. The problems that will be discussed will be for the most part non-routine, and will require a considerable amount of creativity to solve. Students will work at their own level, starting with easy problems and continuing as far as they can. They will be encouraged to develop their own ideas and arguments, and then to write them down. Both steps here are challenging, and provide excellent training for later mathematics related courses. The formal prerequisites for the course are MAT 203 or 205 or 211 or AMS 261 or B or better in MAT 132, 142 or 127.
