The Doane College Mathematics Department is one of the few in the region requiring a senior research project of all majors. This capstone experience allows all students to choose, explore and share a topic of personal interest, and underscores the Department's conviction that the ability to communicate is essential to mathematics.
The following list includes some past topics explored by Doane math majors:
• Predicting GPA using Multiple Regression
• Daily Applications of Game Theory
• Cryptanalysis
• Women in Mathematical Sciences
• Gender Differences in Math Anxiety
• Geometric Transformations used in 3-D Computer Graphics
