I shall also steal these words of wisdom from her m629home page:
While a complete, in-depth analysis of the topic is not expected (that
would be a dissertation or book), a superficial discussion is not
sufficient. The term paper should be a thoughtful discussion of your
topic including the appropriate mathematics and history. I want to
know by reading the paper that you learned some things and thought
seriously about the topic.

mathematics is at the University of
