<p>yea, my abstract is single spaced as well...hmm this kind of sucks</p>
<p>Don't worry about it, they didn't give instructions on the web, so they can't fault you.</p>
<p>Um, I think I should be more worried about my 10 font...so I think you are very very very safe.</p>
<p>Haha.</p>
<p>Did the deadline already pass?</p>
<p>Drove 3 hours to Princeton and hand-delivered it to their office today at noon.
Woot woot, hehe.</p>
<p>And I don't think those 180 miles worth of gas wasted might've been worth it..</p>
<p>Anyways, 1.25 hours left until the deadline. Good luck, all. :)</p>
<p>Oh, and make that 360 miles of gas for a round trip. :(</p>
<p>kryptonsa36, was there a representative at their office? UPS overnight shipping was delayed for me :(</p>
<p>and oasis, size 10 font? lol, I guess I did something along those lines. You know how the margins for math papers are suppose to be like 3 inches? Well, i just kept it standerdized at 1 inch but only filled 16 pages :)</p>
<p>I doubt they fault you on the single spaced abstract. They are human and realize how much work you have put into this paper. Going over the page limit might be another thing though.</p>
<p>hmmm on their site they said they expect around 1000 entries...that seems like quite a bit...are all entries incredibly good?</p>
<p>When I dropped by the building, I had to call down someone from the office to take my submission (the place seemed scarily secure, all these guards walking around). The lady even opened my envelope and checked all the contents so she could file me a receipt for delivery. Then she commented on how her brother lived in the same city as I did, so she knew how much an effort it took for me to drive down there, hahaha.</p>
<p>And in response to Coolphreak, some kids write reports on what color M&M takes the longest to dissolve in your mouth and attribute this "finding" to survival of the fittest. So that would be a no. But you can expect there to be more than 300 (possibly more than 1000, since they receive more like 1300-1400 submissions) good ones, so that the projects that do make it to semis are definitely worthy of that achievement.</p>
<p>What type of font do you guys use? More specifically, can anyone identify the font used
<a href="http://www.arxiv.org/PS_cache/physics/pdf/0609/0609254.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.arxiv.org/PS_cache/physics/pdf/0609/0609254.pdf</a></p>
<p>I notice that it is a very standard font among research papers.</p>
<p>Computer Modern Roman probably -- standard font in LaTeX.</p>
<p>Can it only be used with LaTeX, or also normally in MS Word?</p>
<p>haha i hand delievered mine too...and needless to say I am quite nervous. I dont understand how you math guys write so much...my bio paper was 18 pages and fit perfectly but now I am doubting how good it was since u all have massive....books.</p>
<p>Chaos, <a href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma/ttf/%5B/url%5D">http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bakoma/ttf/</a></p>
<p>I'm too lazy to read the huge FAQ thing... what exactly do I do with the .ttf file? :p</p>
<p>What the heck? What happened to plain, old Times New Roman? :p</p>
<p>Chaos. Get that file and put it all the way up into your ...
...
C:\Windows\Fonts</p>
<p>Excellent. :)</p>
<p>In response to thelittleone:</p>
<p>Math isn't a lot of writing -- it's just all proofs. I have 18 proofs in my research paper, including one 3-page long proof. The difficulty of condensing my paper lies in the fact that I can't delete any of the 18 proofs (they build on each other to form the general solution for all possible cases) and all of the proofs are in their most concise wording possible already. This is the dilemma, you see.</p>
<p>I don't specifically want to write a looong research paper, but that's how it turned out ><. Oh well, at least it IS 20 pages....thank goodness for that.</p>
<p>times new roman owns.</p>
