A student, in consultation with the supervisor, should write a summary of about 300 words on the nature and scope of the project. The summary should come after the cover page but before the full project report. It should contain a statement highlighting the contributions made by the student.
The statement should include, if any,
-
- the student’s own ideas, own results, own proof, own interpretations, own examples or counterexamples, own computer programmes which he/she does not obtain from other sources. The relevant parts of the written thesis which contain such contributions should be explicitly stated.
- improvements made by the students on existing theorems, proofs, etc. found in books or papers. The sources from which the results are improved upon should be mentioned explicitly.
(includes some examples of the Statement of the author’s contributions)
