Teams for Math 455 Projects

I tried very hard to take your surveys into account; the groups are mainly based on stated interests. All of you should be listed in the UMass Student Directory so I won't put any contact information here. But if you are having trouble contacting someone let me know and I can give you more details.

After you have selected your topic, please let me know and I will update this page.

Presentations will be in class on Thurs 21 Apr (3x) and Tues 26 Apr (3x). Each presentation should take about 20 min. Please let me know if you are willing to go on Thursday. Otherwise I'll pick days randomly for teams over the weekend.
