A research project can be a very important part of an undergraduate education in mathematics. Besides the greatly increased learning intensity that comes from personal involvement with a project, and the chance to show graduate schools and potential employers the student's ability to initiate and carry out a complex scientific task, it gives the student an introduction to mathematics as it is: a living and developing intellectual organism where progress is achieved by the interplay of individual creativity and collective knowledge.
