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.
