I have to present a project. The explanation involves lots of math, which makes me look "smart" but uncomfortable before people, what do I do?
One thing that even the “smart” people fail to do, is help other people attain the same understanding.Having complex portions of a project is sort of a given...If your project / product made nothing simpler, nor anything possible which was either previously impossible or impractical, then the project may be a bit of a waste, aside from personal learning....but if you can take the math, or the complex paradigms, and make them conversational, then everybody comes out of it feeling a little smarter, rather than you feeling like you’re acting like the smartest person in the room.
Can you win an ISEF fair with a pure math project? If your project doesn't have applications, can it still win?
Your project could win 1st place in the Mathematics category at ISEF if it’s a particularly novel idea that extends and positively contributes to the existing body of literature in an area of Maths. However, it would still be a significant challenge to explain this convincingly to the judges at the fair. ISEF is a competition, and one of the judging criteria will loosely be based around the overall value of your work to society. This will make it more difficult if you want to win the entire fair (against all 1800 entrants), since you’ll be competing against projects in Computer Science, Engineering and Medicine (which are a lot easier to justify and ‘sell’ to the judges as valuable). Even if your project doesn’t have current applications, it might have some future applications and you should try to emphasise those.
How should I prepare and present my project for ICSE 10th class?
ICSE doesn't demand an impeccable project report, and you can easily get good marks just with a well-to-go project. However, if you want to score a perfect 20, your project should appear neat and tidy and the matter should be well organised.Gather and go through as much starting material as possible. Start your project by preparing a draft. From this draft, cancel out the redundant points and elaborate some other points you think to be of importance. Lay out the matter in an organised way, for example, if your topic is Electro-Magnetic Rays,Introduction of Electric and Magnetic Fields.Interaction of Electric and Magnetic Fields : Origin of EMRThe EMR SpectrumGamma Rays : Origin, Properties and ApplicationsX-Rays : Origin, Properties and ApplicationsUltraviolet Rays : Origin, Properties and ApplicationsVisible Light : Origin, Properties and ApplicationsInfrared Rays : Origin, Properties and ApplicationsMicrowaves : Origin, Properties and ApplicationsRadio Waves : Origin, Properties and ApplicationsHarmful Radiation : Stray magnetic fields / Cellular Tower Radiation / EmmigrationConclusionBe careful about your Index, it is the foremost thing an examiner goes thru. It will give him or her a fair idea about your project. Most examiners don't go over thru the whole of your project and just choose a random topic from the index to judge you.Use lots and lots of relevant and good pictures. Try to include a hand made diagram also, it gives a sense of hard work and pushes your project over that extra mile. Try to cover each page with at least 2 pictures, preferably colored. Use proper margins and page numbering, draw a line after each topic and try to highlight the headings.ICSE goes relatively easy on the project reports, don't spend too much time on these trivial things. Anything neat and succinct will fetch you full marks.
I have to do a PowerPoint presentation on math. What are some good topics to choose from math?
From the numerous Math presentation I have done, I realized that people don’t care that much about the super interesting stuff (even mathematicians themselves). There are too many fields in mathematics, so each person would be interested in something different.I don’t know how familiar your audience is with mathematics, but one topic that has been interesting to all types of audiences is Non-Euclidean geometry.Check: Non-Euclidean geometry - Wikipedia and your presentation is done. Very visual, very intuitive, surprisingly unfamiliar to most people.
What do i write in the conclusion for math project?
Hopefully you have found plenty of examples - so you can conclude that yes - geometry is clearly used in our daily lives, You should be able to find examples from the natural world and the built environment - to activities like planning your route from school to home so as to be able to walk the shortest distance. Many things we take for granted and barely notice - but nevertheless they still rely on geometrical principles - eg Satnav which triangulates your position in a car or boat. Big Ben is a Bell not a building btw - and it is not leaning perceptibly (it subsided very lightly due to the construction of the Jubilee Line). The campanile at Pisa is an interesting case - the vertical line of the centre of gravity of the building comes within the base of the structure - which is why it doesn't fall over.
Please help me with this Math (Linear) Project?
Any help would be great!! :) Southwest Hosptial has an operating room used only for eye surgery. The annual cost of rent, heat, and electricity for the operating room and its equipment is $180,000 and the annual salaries for the people who staff this room total $270,000. Each surgery performed requires the use of $380 worth of medical supplies and drugs. To promote goodwill, every patient recieves a bouquet of flowers the day after surgery. Inaddition, one-quarter of the patients require dark glasses, which the hospital provides free of charge. It costs the hospital $15 each bouquet of flowers and $20 for each pair of glasses. The hospital receives a payment of $1000 for each eye operation performed. 1. Identify the revenue per case and the annual fixed and variable costs for running the operating room? Write the revenue and cost as functions R(x) and C(x). 2. How many eye operations msut the hospital perform each year in order to break even? 3. SW Hospital currently averages 70 eye operations per month. One of the nurses has just learned about amachine that would reduce by $50 per patient the amount of medical supplies needed. It can be leased for $50,000 annually. Keeping in mind the financial cost and benefits, advise the hospital on whether it should lease this machine. 4. Ad advertising agency has proposed to the hospital's president that she spend $10,000 per month on television and radio advertising to persuade people that Southwest Allentown Hospital is the best place to have an eye surgery performed. Adversiting account executives estimate that such publicity would increase business by 40 opertions per month. If they are correct and if this increase is not big enough to affect fixed costs, what impact would this adversiting have on the hospital's profits? 5. In case the advertising agency is being overly optimistic, how many extra operations per month are needed to cover the cost of the proposed ads? 6. If the ad campaign is approved and subsequently meets its projections, should the hospital review its decision about the machine discussed in Question 3?

What are some good topics for a working math project?
I would suggest an intermediate level project…Build a Galton board…..It is a working example of how probability works on a large scale and how seemingly random things lead to order….You can see the chaos turning into order right before your eyes…If one who really understands the beauty of it then he will be absolutely blown away!!!The working of the Galton is also too interesting….Do watch this video by Vsauce to know what I’m talking about…Good Luck!!!
What are some cool topic/subjects that I could do a math project on?
Does it have to be something you're specifically covering in precalc? I think a fun bit of math to learn about would be cryptography--sending secret messages. I'd recommend going through the (free online!) book Hacking Secret Ciphers with Python.The stuff there is more number theory than precalc, but the book is definitely worth a gander.
