Senior Thesis

Go to Wikipedia and search game theory. There's a tab filled specifically with game theory applications.

I don't have to write my senior thesis this year but given that I like algebra I've been thinking about doing my thesis on that topic.

Has anyone here ever done a senior thesis (or I guess a minor publication as a PhD or PhD student works too) in group theory? In what did you apply it? How much group theory did you know before you were able to get your results?

Math major here so I don't really need to apply it to physics or chem, can basically do it about whatever I want because all that matters is the math itself.

Bump.

No group theory experts here? What could an undergrad do with it?

Does "Senior Thesis" include master's thesis? I'm currently working on one in CS where I'm developing an improved algorithm to a certain combinatorial optimization problem.

In any case to work in group theory you need to pick a very specialised topic, groups appear in very many different flavours almost anywhere. Since they are so abstract to get meaningful results you need to make certain additional assumptions, like finite groups/algebraic groups/classical groups/reflection groups/solvabe/nilpotent/...

Take a look what interests you further and then decide what kind of flavour suits you the most, then pick a branch of mathematics where these groups appear and maybe you can find something about the connection between these particular groups and the application you are considering.

Analyze corruption. The ways in which the black market and cliques make sure members stick to deals and don't snitch. Then go into detail about their weak points and the most effective means of eliminating corruption.

>What did you write about for your Senior Thesis?

Political Science.

Have you spoken to your professors/advisors?

The fact you know you want to do game study should be more than enough for them to point you in the right direction.

>What did you write about for your Senior Thesis?

Basic aspects of conformal field theories in d=2

If you already know what topic you want to write about, why don't you just speak to your professors?

So is a senior thesis something like a bachelor thesis or what?

is it possible to do a thesis on high temperature superconductors?
