<p>We are doing a calculus project as our "final." Since we just finished our AP exam, we aren't doing anymore work. I was just wondering what would YOU do if you were in my shoes for an end of the year AP Calculus AB project!? haha</p>
<p>I took both AP Calc classes last year, and my teacher did the same thing, except in BC class. He had a list of interesting graphs that you generally don't learn about, and each student had to pick two, and write a research paper on each (history, discoverer, what the graph looks like, formulas, etc.). If your project is supposed to be something like this, you might consider studying a BC topic, like series/sequences, polar/parametric, or whatever.</p>
<p>If your project is supposed to be about using what you've learned all year, or just supposed to be fun, you could make a "calculus rap", or something like that. (Some guys in my AP CHem class last year made a chemistry rap.. and it was actually REALLY good, not to mention obviously really funny. :))</p>
<p>Pick something simple, like proving the Riemann Hypothesis.</p>
<p>I was thinking of tracking some baseball players batting average, and then finding the derivative curve, but I like the rap idea.</p>
<p>I have a Calc project project, but it just has to be something about math...or math related. I think I'm doing the connection of game theory to biological evolution (anyone read the selfish gene)? Man...I'm such a dork!</p>
<p>I know what you could do. Analyze acceptance rates among Tier one colleges, integrate the number to find total students admitted. Track the rate each year, maybe even find a(t) of admit rates. Then after all that is complete, compare the rates and wonder to yourself how in the !@#$ Cornell is in the Ivy League.</p>
<p>Dont worry guys - we just have another Georgetown loser posting in OUR forums...</p>
<p>or, brenner87, we could just think of our own projects and laugh at you on the side...</p>
