APMA 930 Project (Spring 2011)

APMA 930 Project

Everyone who is registered in this course is expected to complete a project. The project will consist of a written report and a poster presentation of your results. Your mark will make up 40% of your course grade and will be weighted approximately 2/3 for the written submissions (see below) and 1/3 for the poster presentation. Projects should be done individually. Your project should have a significant computational component (I hope that's no surprise) although the focus could vary from:

a comparison of several methods for a single problem,
a detailed computational study/survey for one method on a variety of test problems,
theoretical results on stability, convergence or some other aspect of a particular scheme, backed up by computations,
an application-oriented study,
etc.

I will give you a list of suggestions for project topics in class, but you are welcome to pick one of your own. Please come see me -- as early as possible -- if you are looking for ideas or references!

Timeline:

     Thu Feb 7: Identify your topic, and submit a one-paragraph description plus references.

     Tue Mar 5:   Submit a rough outline along with any preliminary results.

     Thu Apr 4: Final written report due.

     Start of April: Poster presentations.
