Projects
Choose a topic that you would like to learn more about. Write a paper and prepare a 15?30?-minute presentation. Include the following elements:
- A through review of the classic texts, with a tutorial approach in mind
- The most recent research literature on the topic or related topics (we can discuss this more)
- Numbers that give the reader an idea of the scale of the quantities you discuss
- A good bibliography that includes review and tutorial articles and research articles
- Uniqueness - no topic should overlap that of another class member. You will decide jointly about topics - all of you have to be interested in the others' topics
- Length: no maximum. 10-page minimum?
- Presentation: 15?30? minutes plus 5 minutes for questions
- Optional: a tentative homework problem and solution that would be good for future years
