• Form your own group or ask your TA to assign one to you.
• Two members for each group. However, if there is an odd number of students in your section, your TA will help to form one group of three members.

• Here is a breakdown on points:

Basic Format: 2.5 points (Limited to one Cover Page plus 3 or 4 more pages, prepared by a computer editor software, stapled. The Cover Page contains the following formation: Title of the Project, Names and Signatures of Members, Your Section Number)

Writing: 2.5 points (Introduction paragraph describing the problem; Main body of report containing formulation, analysis, and resolution of the problem; Conclusion paragraph)

Good faith effort: 5 points (You will know it when you see it. Your report must be neat, complete, and easy to follow.)

Mathematics: 10 points (Problem formulation, reasoned analysis, and conclusion)

Writing Tips: With a possible exception for the introduction and conclusion sections, you can follow the writing style of examples of the textbook. You want to use a balanced mix of graph, text, and formula in your report. All commercial word processers should have a build-in capability to insert mathematical expressions. It is strongly recommended to use it to give a professional feel to you report.
