So often, we present mathematical greats--Newton, Aristotle, Gauss--but often at the expense of historical and current mathematicians who aren't as well-known.  This project, inspired by the blog The Mathematicians Project, has students focus on mathematicians who aren't as common in textbooks.  Furthermore, this project explicitly asks students to not write a "book report" per se on their mathematician, but to produce the information in some other form.  For some, this was a poster, but for others, this was a painting with supplemental documentation or a poem about the connection they felt to this mathematician.  

Examples of student work from the Fall 2020 and Spring 2022 semesters, used with their permission, are below.  Clicking on the image will download the file from Google Drive.
