[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend of mine was a math major and she thought it was "easy" in that she wasn't doing research or writing case studies like some other majors. [/quote] At my school, all math majors were expected to do a graduate level research project for their thesis, take seminars and research circles to dive into math papers, and type up lengthy LaTeX proofs in response to questions (which is the math equivalent of writing papers in a discipline). Most also did summer REUs to conduct research. Williams posts senior theses publicly for their math majors (they're considered one of the premier undergrad math schools) and you can see what they look like: https://unbound.williams.edu/theses/islandora/search?islandora_solr_search_navigation=0&f%5B0%5D=mods_name_corporate_department_authority_marcrelator_namePart_ms%3A%22Mathematics%22[/quote]
