<p>yep coolphreak, i did my math project at home with paper, pencil, and coffee....and maybe the ocassional mathematica</p>
<p>I don't think the judges are going to be checking for forgeries. Unless you win. Then they'll use it as an excuse so they don't have to give you the scholarship. ;)</p>
<p>i just don't like their "original" copy rule</p>
<p>why the **** can't they accept ****ing faxed submissions?</p>
<p>Ah, that would make it too easy.</p>
<p>Hey kyzan, what kind of math did you research?</p>
<p>just wondering, could anyone err quantify or something how "hardcore" the semifinalist projects are?</p>
<p>i did research in graph theory</p>
<p>nice. (10 char)</p>
<p>if you want, i can pm you the specifics</p>
<p>haha i finally mailed in my paper w00t</p>
<p>That's awesome Coolphreak. Good luck to you. </p>
<p>You better not pm me kyzan, I would get too interested and not do my homework sets this weekend.</p>
<p>Yay my project arrived!</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! =D</p>
<p>anyone else planning on overnighting it on sunday? :D</p>
<p>o.O can u even do that?^ isn't hte post office closed on sunday?</p>
<p>yea, i overnighted my project today, it costed $50 because they make you ship the mentor forms in a separate package. Oasis, how do you know your project arrived? Did they send you a confirmation email? </p>
<p>Do you guys think one region is more competitive than another, or if they choose the same number of team and individual semifinalists? And if they do not, then which catagory is more competitive?</p>
<p>Why worry about which category is more competetive? Projects have been entered... can't do anything now.</p>
<p>(Actually all of you could expand this thread by many pages speculating about all this and I would probably wittle away some time reading them...)</p>
<p>From what I gather, I think categories don't make a difference in the selections.</p>
<p>Geographic location does -- no more than 50 projects are selected from each of the 6 geographic regions to comprise of the 300 semifinalists. It's somewhere on the Siemens website. Someone could post a direct quote to it if they find it.</p>
<p>I know my project arrived because of the DHL tracking online =p</p>
<p>Wait, I just realized that I made my abstract singled-space (I looked at other abstracts online and usually they are singled-space, too). The website says that the research report must be doubled-space, but says nothing about the abstract. </p>
<p>Do you think I'll be fine?</p>
<p>My paper hasn't arrived yet. :( I mailed it on the 25 priority mail and the last tracking update was on the 29, it was in NJ. I'm getting kinda worried. What really bites is that the post office said it would be there in 2-3 days no problem. ARRRG!</p>
<p>awwww... i hope it arrives on time...</p>
<p>umm i'm a sophomore right now... and i want to do research, though i'm a bit confused as to how to get started (i'm looking at nearby research facilities for a mentor/ an internship). i'm interested in math, and i was wondeirng if anyone would be willing to explain their project to me or soemthing... please? :)</p>
