In mathematics seminars, students focus on an advanced topic in mathematics. Each student is assigned a personal seminar tutor who assists in the selection of a specific topic, designing the content and defining the scope of the required work. During the course, students may consult their tutor. Students study the material and submit a written seminar paper. Following the approval of the paper, students lecture on their topic to a group of students and faculty members.
