        Thomas Bartsch, Turgay Uzer and I have discussed a possible term
project for you. Thomas and you can work out a detailed weekly schedule
how the project will run, but roughly I would suggest it you divide it in
3 parts:

        1) literature
                write up uniform approximations
                (Thomas thesis + several basic papers)
        2) calculation
                reproduce a basic Airy-function type uniform approximation
                through a simple bifurcation (from Thomas thesis or other
                literature)
        3) calculation
                implement a uniform approximation to a more complicated
                 bifurcation, not published (but Thomas will suggest how to
                go about it)

1) and 2) are necessary to complete the project, 2) is additional (but
more fun)
