[LM_NET] SEC: Math Research

[Megan Blakemore <blakemorem@WESTBROOKSCHOOLS.ORG>]

I am meeting with the Math department at my school tomorrow, and I am  
hoping to entice them into the library with some research projects  
that don't require a lot of class time. I would think projects using  
real life skills would have the most appeal to the teachers. When I  
was in high school, we had a project where we had to think of  
something in the real world that might follow a parabolic function.  
Then we'd had to perform an experiment, plot the data, and see if it  
was in fact parabolic. (My partner and I baked muffins and tracked  
their height over time). If any one has examples of this kind of math  
project, please email me, and I can compile a hit.

Thanks!
