[SOLVED] Mathematical Concept
Math 105 Final Project TopicsASSIGNMENT Write a 3-5 page paper answering one of the following questions.DUE Sunday 15 December @ 10:00am Hard copy in my office.Topic One: You are a Mathematics Instructor tasked with creating a case study for your students.Write a case parallel in idea to the case titled Consumers Sometimes Need to do the Math. The case explained a mathematical concept and compared it topsychology the concept of delayed gratification. Your task is to design a case in the same way for students. At the end of the case, create 6-8questions and answer them. Implement a project topic at the end of the case and create an outline to address the topic.Reflection: Do you find case studies that pair a mathematical concept to a real life application help portray the idea in a clearer way to students? For example, the case comparedthe decision to purchasing a specific product to the psychological idea of delayed gratification and then used the example of the fridge asan application. Why or why not?Topic Two: You are a writer for a journal, and you are tasked with a highlight on different cryptography methods used in history and our modern day world.Write about cryptography and how it has been used historically and in our modern day world. Explainwhat it is, how it is used and highlight 8-10 different methods and their uses.Research and investigate 8-10 occurrences/events where cryptography was used. This could come from a historical or fictional event/time. Familiarize yourself with what happened and be prepared to shareit within the journal.For every example explain the event/method where cryptography was used. When and where did it occur? How did itoccur? Why? Who was involved? What was the impact of the coded message? What kind of coding method was used?Reflection: Do you think cryptography is still used today? Is it still necessary or valid? Why or why not? Do you think you or your peers will ever need to use cryptographyWhy/how? Why not?Topic Three: You are a mathematics instructor tasked with creating a short guide on conversions for your students.Write about conversions what are they used for, and how? Provide a guide-like booklet explaining the types of conversions that exist and their uses and applications. Highlight the different types of conversions (weights, distances, currencies for example) define the different types within each topic and explain the applications and method of conversion for each.Reflection: In your opinion, given the advancement of technology and the availability of online convertors is it necessary/useful to learn how to convert? Whether its currencies while you are travelling or measurements when you are buying furniture is there an added value to this skill? Justify.
