Individual study offers students the opportunity to study subjects or do projects not typically available through the regular curriculum.  It also offers opportunities to learn about learning: the opportunity to develop self-direction, to learn how to manage a personal project, and/or to learn how to learn technical material outside of the classroom.  Students interested in a self-directed project, research, or course of study in Mathematics or theoretical Computer Science are invited to present a proposal to Brian Walter.  Students with a lively sense of self-direction, discipline, and intellectual curiosity are strongly encouraged to apply, as are groups of students interested in studying a subject together.
