Math Project

Projects

 

 

            In this project, you will select one of the following subjects.  Only one person will be allowed to work on each subject, so you will need to choose quickly.  If you have a subject that you would like to do your project on and it is not listed, come see me after class to have it approved and added to the list.

 

Project Requirements.

            You need to search on the internet or in books at the library to find out how the subject you have chosen relates to Mathematics.  You will need a picture to demonstrate the idea or person.  You will then write two or more paragraphs with a minimum of five sentences per paragraph about what you have learned.  This project needs to be typed and no more than two pages.  All your references that you have used must be cited (recorded at the end of the paper).  This project is worth 100 points and is due 9/15/2010.
