MGF 1106 Valencia College Use of Trigonometry in Blood Spatter Paper
This project requires you to write a scholarly report on a topic involving mathematics.
Choose a specific topic that interests you and research the history of how math plays a role and is used with respect to that topic.
For example, if you like to play poker, you might write about the probability involved in gambling. If you are studying crime scene investigations, you might write about the mathbehind ballistics, blood splatter patterns, and DNA testing. If you like the show “Ancient
Aliens”, you might write about the logical fallacies of Giorgio Tsoukalos. I’m NOT looking for “The history of Algebra”…BORING.
Make sure to include explanations in your own words. Do your best to understand what you’re writing about. Don’t just quote a bunch of math jargon that doesn’t make any sense to you. You might include important mathematician names, dates, theories, discoveries,
diagrams, formulas, cultural implications, and anecdotes. Make it as interesting and accurate as you can!
