thebrownindianguy Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hi! What are you guys doing for your math exploration topics? Could anyone suggest a few to me? I really don't know what to do. Thanks! ______________________IB makes me wanna Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaby Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 You are supposed to choose your own topic, so we are not allowed to give you one, it's your job. Try to research a bit or talk with your teacher. But no one here is going to do your work for you. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenith Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I'm planning to investigate casino games with relation to the percentage chance the casino and the participants have to win an actual profit.Not the roulette or slot machines though, that's too simple.Otherwise, I may do something with vector equations or advanced calculus but unsure yet exactly with ideas in that department.Hope this sparks some ideas 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!______________________IB makes me wanna dude try out an exploration on how to solve a rubics cube the probability of getting the right solution to a rubics cube. just link it to probability.

NFLDiBstudent Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 The Ib website had has a whole bunch of examples. And you can ask your teacher for example papers to get an idea of the content and structure Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBTutorOnline Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I'm seeing students write very interesting ones on card games (poker texas hold'em, blackjack, bridge) and this opens doors to a variety of sub-topics like hand odds, optimal bet sizes, and introductory game theory. I can think of a number of good finance-based explorations as well. You really just need to do some research.On the one hand you should choose something that interests you and you will enjoy working on, but on the other hand you should make sure you choose something that allows for plenty of mathematical investigation. I fear that a large number of candidates will end up writing math 'essays' as opposed to math explorations. Before you even start looking for topics, I suggest you have a look at grading criterion : http://fds.oup.com/www.oup.com/pdf/oxed/international/Secondary/exploration_sl.pdfIt's always a better idea to know exactly what examiners will be looking for and what you need to have to get full marks.

WongiGospel Herman Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I am doing my math exploration and I am enjoying it. Look for paradoxical issue, like birthday paradox or lottery paradox; this will help you to investigate the math behind and proof it mathematically how far these paradox are true. And try to make it deep and intellectual research, because this topics are nor really mathematical but you can make it like that.I am doing my math exploration and I am enjoying it.
