Question

Need to write a 3000 word essay on a math subject, anyone have any good topic ideas?

Answer 1

the application of mathematics in real life,

Answer 2

Godel's proof, Cantor's set theory and his studies of infinity. Newton as an inventor of differential Calculus. How many topics do you need?

Answer 3

yeah that would be a good topic, I'll have to ask if that one would be allowed

Answer 4

how mathematicians invented a c++ computer programe?

Answer 5

I need 1 topic, but I need it to be an interesting one (so that I don't get bored) and a long enough one to write 3000+ words

Answer 6

the list of choices is really quite long. Cantor's infinity theories are a fun topic in my opinion: he found that there are at least two different kinds of infinity, one "bigger" than the other.

Answer 7

mathematics of aeroplanes,(aerodynamics).

Answer 8

error analysis in mathematics ,the impact of errors in real life

Answer 9

yeah I've got some great ideas now, ill have to ask the prof which ones will be allowed, but I definitely need good resources to fill out the long essay

Answer 10

Look up the golden ratio, that's an easy topic to blather on about. It shows up everywhere in nature. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio

Answer 11

look @ the appication of methamatics during world war 2, creation of new weapons and planes,vectors and direction ,calculus and the invention of atomic bomb.

Answer 12

ok cool, if it helps at all, its a philosophy/math course, but you've given me some great ideas
