You will present the results of your computation at a poster session in the Midterm 2 time slot. You should not go to great expense to generate the posters; 8.5" by 11" sheets pasted to thin poster board will be fine. The total size is limited to about half the size of a whiteboard in WGR 304. Text and diagrams should explain your calculations, | You will present the results of your computation at a poster session in the Midterm 2 time slot.
