 ====== Projects ======
+Choose a topic that you would like to learn more about.  Write a paper and prepare a 15?30?-minute presentation.  Include the following elements:
+  * A through review of the classic texts, with a tutorial approach in mind
+  * The most recent research literature on the topic or related topics (we can discuss this more)
+  * Numbers that give the reader an idea of the scale of the quantities you discuss
+  * A good bibliography that includes review and tutorial articles and research articles
+  * Uniqueness - no topic should overlap that of another class member.  You will decide jointly about topics - all of you have to be interested in the others' topics
+  * Length: no maximum.  10-page minimum?
+  * Presentation: 15?30? minutes plus 5 minutes for questions
+  * Optional: a tentative homework problem and solution that would be good for future years
