* * * * * * * * * * The Math Studies Project for Internal Assessment A good project should be able to be followed by a non-mathematician and be self explanatory all the way through. Length  The project does not have a word limit. It is the quality of the mathematics and the processes used and described that is important, rather than the number of words written. However, the student is expected to put in the required time allocated for the project. A simple project does not receive many marks. Commitment The project is a substantial piece of work (25 hours class time plus many more hours outside the class) The project should demonstrate a commitment of time and effort by the student Choice of Topic The choice of topic must give students sufficient scope to demonstrate their mathematical ability. Statistical Chi-Squared test for Independence Correlation/Linear regression Normal distribution Student ‘t’ test Spearman’s rank order correlation Choice of Topic Algebraic Modelling Quadratic Exponential Trigonometric Calculus i. Optimization Problems ii. Modelling Choice of Topic Number and algebra i Sequences and series ii Linear programming Sets, Logic and Probability i Venn diagrams ii Probabilities Financial Mathematics Title page The Project must have a clear title Candidate’s name Candidate’s number Date Subject Teacher’s Name Table of contents Page numberring where each part of the project can be found A: Introduction Task: What is the aim of the project? The task must be clearly stated and any relevant background information given. Plan: What must be done to achieve this aim? Include as much detail as is necessary to be clear Include a description of the method of data collection, including any sampling techniques State what techniques are to be used at each stage and the reason why these techniques are being used Remember to do exactly what you state in your plan B: Information / Measureme
