Suggested Paper Topics

Although this book can be used for a homogeneous audience, the author hopes that it will encourage mixed classrooms mathemafics students working with students in the physical sciences. The author has found that students in such classrooms respond well to assignments that allow them to share their particular expertise with the class. One model that has worked well in the author s experience is to replace timed tests with a final project (paper and class presentation) on a related topic of the student s choice. We have listed some paper topic suggestions in Appendix C. 

Minsky does not solve the problems associated with these issues. His paper is designed to present a rough outline of a theory and to suggest future topics of research. To a large extent, these issues guide the research described later in this book, where I offer solutions to some of the problems - and raise a few new ones as well. 

As a rule, contributions are specially commissioned. The editors and publishers wiU, however, always be pleased to receive suggestions and supplementary information. Papers are accepted for Topics in Current Chemistry in English.
