MAP projects

I've seen all of the student to kick-off their MAP projects. Generally, they seem quite keen but perhaps not as keen as I was anticipating given the opportunity and the effort to get on the program. But then again I'm not sure how enthused a teenager is going to get about maths anyway! I also not sure exactly what level of difficulty to pitch the work at. Hopefully I haven't asked too much of them.

The projects are:

  • a comparison between optimal flow algorithms applied to different scenarios, probably health, defence, production, routing
  • a comparison between Classical and Bayesian confidence intervals
  • internet security using the public key encryption, probably including RSA and prime numbers
  • investigation in to the concept and developing definitions of infinity
  • Game theory in business
