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
