List of Application Problems for Term Paper: Math 2320 Application Problems

Some options for typing math notations and symbols for your paper:

Your paper must be typed and it needs to contain at least 3 parts:

  1. Context and Background Information. Make sure to define any new terminology and notations.
  2. Complete and detailed solution to your 2 selected applications. This must include: explanation of the method(s) you use (so that a Calculus student can understand the method) and step-by-step solution.
  3. Conclusion: state assumptions used in the models, discuss the limitation of the models, discuss possible extensions and possible further exploration.

Please use at least two outside sources for your paper. (The course textbook and my lecture notes do not count). Any help or collaboration must be given credit and cited.

First draft (20%) is due in class on August 7. Final draft  (80%) is due in class on August 14. No late work will be accepted under any circumstances. Handwritten paper will not be accepted.
