MGF 1106 Valencia College Use of Trigonometry in Blood Spatter Paper

 

This project requires you to write a scholarly report on a topic involving mathematics.  
Choose a specific topic that interests you and research the history of how math plays a role
and is used with respect to that topic.
For example, if you like to play poker, you might write about the probability involved in
gambling.  If you are studying crime scene investigations, you might write about the math
behind ballistics, blood splatter patterns, and DNA testing.  If you like the show “Ancient
Aliens”, you might write about the logical fallacies of Giorgio Tsoukalos. I’m NOT looking for “The history of Algebra”…BORING.
Make sure to include explanations in your own words.  Do your best to understand what
you’re writing about.  Don’t just quote a bunch of math jargon that doesn’t make any sense
to you.  You might include important mathematician names, dates, theories, discoveries,
diagrams, formulas, cultural implications, and anecdotes.  Make it as interesting and
accurate as you can!
