Ever since I (re)started my undergraduate mathematics studies I've been trying to get involved in some kind of research. Unfortunately it seems that most mathematics research is a bit out of reach for me until I get further along into my upper level classes. However, I have been taking a class on the early history of mathematics and I seriously enjoy it. I get so involved in some of these research papers I feel like I could continue on to a full thesis if I had the time (or a reason).
This is a topic that seems a bit more approachable with my math background (I will be finishing my third semester of calculus this semester). So I am wondering if anybody knows of undergraduate research opportunities for math history. I just found out about SMURCHOM - the Smoky Mountain Undergraduate Conference on the History of Mathematics. unfortunately it is 1) past the deadline for this year and 2) a biannual thing, so there is no "next year," only the year after next.
Do undergraduates publish papers in journals such as Historia Mathematica and so forth? Or is there another undergraduate publication that might accept work?
Thanks,
Dave K
