Math 636: Mathematical Modeling

Final oral projects will be presented on Tuesday, December 16, 8:00-1:00. We will be begin the presentations in GMCS 325 from 8:00-10:00, then take a break from 10:00-10:20 and move to GMCS 405 for the remainder of the oral preesntations. Your oral presentation should be 17 min with 3 min allowed for questions and the next speaker to set up. Below is the table for the presentations.Your written project will be due Thursday, December 18 by 5:00 PM. The written project should be approximately 25 pages, not counting code, which should be included as an appendix. The Oral portion is 1/3 of the grade determined only by the class, while the written part is worth 2/3.

For the oral presentations, you will be graded by your fellow students (which is why all of you must attend everyone's presentation). The criteria for scoring the presentations is also given below after the table for the presentation order.
