 MS. 590.-Special Topics. Variable credit.
 The purpose of this course is to provide a means for advanced students to pursue
work along any line needed, even though no formal course is at the time available;
or to introduce the student to research literature in mathematics. Students may be
directed individually and informally, or in groups according to an established schedule.
