3. Each group will turn in one project report with each group member’s name. Also, each group
member should turn in separately an assessment of the other group members’ contribution to
the solution and report. This assessment should address the following questions:
• Did each group member attend and participate in each of the meetings?
• Did each group member complete their assigned tasks?
• Did each group member read the final report?
It is not automatically the case that all group members will receive the same grade on the
project.
Your score out of 50 points will be based upon your written presentation as well as the mathematical
content according to the following guidelines:
• (30 points) Mathematical Content. Your approach, procedure, derivations, and calculations
should be clear, complete, and correct.
• (20 points) Presentation. Your project report should include the general background of the
problem along with your work and conclusions. The report should not be written up as though
you were solving a series of homework problems. As part of the presentation, you are expected
to use correct English grammar and correct and appropriate mathematical notation.
• (Up to 5 points) Extra Credit. Any imaginative ideas, mathematical or artistic additions,
historical background, etc., which go beyond what is expected will be rewarded.
