ABSTRACT

The author discusses how wikis can facilitate creative work in upper-level mathematics courses by examining two examples. One is a wiki on cryptology during WWII, done for a senior-level course in cryptology. The other is a student-generated solutions manual for a Moore-method-style Modern Algebra course.
