DISCRETE MATH RESEARCH REPORT
Original example: 40 points
Re-read the standards and the contra dance report. Make your example clear to someone who does not know anything about the topic and may not be that interested. Use graphs, tables, pictures, diagrams, if appropriate. For procedures, use numbered steps.
I will return this on Thursday (the next day) for you to finish up your report, poster, and presentation.

DISCRETE MATH RESEARCH REPORT
Math explanation: 40 points
Again, re-read the Writing and Grammar and Usage Standards. Also, read the analysis Standards. Re-read my contra dances report to see how I did the analysis. You should understand it since it only uses the matrices we have already learned, but you don't have to understand it.
Now, write your math explanation.
Bibliography: 10 points
Minimum are the sources I gave you plus the three articles you took off the web. Remember sources must be understandable, useful, and not just fluff.
I will return this on Tuesday, so you can revise it and do the original example for Wednesday.

MATH RESEARCH REPORT
Cover page: 10 points
Same format as example I gave you.
Topic explanation (not the math explanation): 30 points
Read what I did for matrices of contra dancing. this sets the stage to understand the math. Read over "Writing standard for content" and "Writing standards for grammar and usage." This is a research report so form, spelling, grammar is as important as content.
I will return this on Friday (tomorrow) so you can revise it and do the math explanation and bibliography for Monday.

Here are the assignment of math research projects to date:
Suduko: jackie (I have a folder)
Barcodes: Beatrice & Rose (folder)
Infinite On Hold: Karen & Melissa (When Does Line Move?)
Electing a President: Ike (our text)
Traveling Salesman Problem: Mykiah & Julius (our text)
Cake Cutting: Ericka (folder)
Monty Hall Problem: Alberto (folder)
Saving Money: Evelyn (folder and our text)
Shortest Route: May & Jessica (our text)
Optimal Matching: Cecile (folder)
If you don't have a topic, then pick from the remaining ones on the list. they are all good. I did not advertise the last one NUMB3RS topic. I have one copy of a book of the techniques used on NUMB3RS with the math. (I wish I had more copies.) It is very, very interesting. you can write on any one of the topics. Email me with your choice. first come. First serve.
This weekend: read about your topic. Find 3 articles on the web that you can understand and are informational (not just mention the topic). Print them off. (10 points each for acceptable articles.)
Also, read again the research report I wrote so you understand what is needed. My matrices are extensive and I would not expect that from you (though you could do it), but the format and the level of explanation is what I expect.
If you don't like your topic, we''l find another on Monday. Remember the report and presentation is a week from Monday.
