Your projects will be due sometime during the last week of class. 
Your project should investigate some aspects of mathematics related
to the course which interests you. Some suggestions on possible
topics are on another link.There is also a link to the grade form.
This form gives you an idea of what to include in your project. The
guidelines are not firm, and projects are not expected to contain
all the ingredients listed. Grading is done by getting a +, check,
- or blank on each line.  Blanks don't count, and I have never given 
a minus for humor!  

Projects are optimally to be done by a group of two or three students,
although groups of one and four are allowed. They should have a base
length of about ten pages, which should include explanatory text, equations,
worked examples, graphs  and a list of references. If you make a
web page, please do not put in more than one or two links. I will
grade it by printing it out, and only going back to check for computer
material later.

Please be scrupulous about referencing books, journals, personal 
contacts from whom you got information, and websites. This has become
a major issue in the (relatively) new climate of web-based information.
I believe a UT professor came under serious attack for not giving
appropriate credit for web based information.  I don't know the outcome,
but don't risk it!

Equations should be punctuated!  Also, if you do not know a computer
program which handles equations (I don't), you can either use the
kind of notation I use for your exercises, or write equations in by
hand.  Of course, if you have nothing else to do, you can learn the
Tex language that mathematicians use, but I am not sure this will be
useful for everybody in the class in the future. 

The project is intended to be an enjoyable part of the course. The skills
you use in writing it will come in handy later, no matter what you do.
