Hi

this is Math11 Independent Research paper

these are the topics(chapters) that have learned in Math 11

1 Linear Relations
2 Quadratics
3 Functions
4 Solving Equations & Inequalites
5 Circles & Lines
6 Circles Geometry

I will give you full guide line for the papers. as you will know

there are 2 options either 1.Research a famous mathematician. or

2.Research a topic from the course. I don’t mind whatever you choose.

i just want you to follow the instructions.

Paper Guide Line

For this project you have 2 options. You only have to do one option.

1.Research a famous mathematician.
2.Research a topic from the course.

You can do this project at any time in the course and it is worth 10% of your final grade.

Research a famous mathematician

Give a brief biographical essay of one mathematician. Your work should be approximately 1000 words long, that’s about 2 full pages of text, plus any diagrams and pictures you add. Therefore your essay will be at least 3 pages.

Some areas that you must try to include are:

dates and location of birth, key events, death
how did they die – (ie. was it related to their work)
their views of mathematics – (ie. what were their views on any controversies.)
what historical context did they live in – (ie. what was going on, war, etc.)
their religion, ethnic background, political ties
contributions to mathematics
contributions to society
their educational and family background
