I'm very excited to start my undergraduate thesis and I've heard some recommendations for topic but I have a questions and I'd like to hear your opinions.

Should I look for the most advanced topic I can understand on an area I'm interested to work in graduate school or should I work on an elementary topic with the things I've learned so far, or something else?

Also, what should be the point on a undergraduate thesis, should I use it to work on the topics I'm interested to study in graduate school or to go deeper in topics I know or what?

Thanks in advance.

    Some of Mexico's u$n$iversitites are the only ones *I know* (this is important for debate's sake) that used to *require* thesis for undergraduates. Now there's another option in some but it still exists that condition. Anyway, from your best loved subject (say, Number Theory), choose a nice subject there (Say, Dirichlet's Theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions) and develop the whole material and the proof giving it a personal touch. Anyway, it is not usually expected to be original work.2012-12-18
