This seminar develops skills in communication, critical thinking, professionalism, and teamwork through authentic mathematical tasks and career-focused activities. Students practice articulating their skills and experiences effectively in the context of a job search, while practicing how to translate mathematical ideas for non-technical audiences. Collaborative projects give students experience with the types of work and problem-solving they may encounter in professional environments.
