Dinstruction Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I hope it's okay if I have multiple general statements. It seems the Shadow Functions portfolio is asking for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kyle Bridgemohansingh Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 What are the mark boundaries for the Portfoliowhat out of 20 is a 1 or a 2 or a 3, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinstruction Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hmm... when should the 2013-2014 tasks be published? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
miso soup Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Tip: NEVER! write in first person(THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ALL OTHER IAs AND EAs!)! Personal Pronouns make your paper seem unprofessional and if used incorrectly or in an abundance, could get you deducted a point or two for language.

Dinstruction Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 It's my understanding that "we" is perfectly acceptable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus92fan Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Hmm... when should the 2013-2014 tasks be published? I heard from my math teacher that after 2013, math portfolios will be done away with. Don't quote me on this, but the candidates in 2014 and on have to do an independent research paper on a chosen area within mathematics. It's a more humanities oriented approach than mathematical. Not sure how I feel about it (relieved that I got to do a portfolio, perhaps ). Edited March 31, 2012 by opus92fan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariusIBDP Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Graphing SoftwareI recommend you to use any of the following graphing software or program(s):• Autograph (http://www.autograph-maths.com/)• GeoGebra (http://www.geogebra.org)• TI-Nspire Student Software (http://education.ti..../detail?id=6768)• Wolfram Mathematica (http://www.wolfram.c...atica/features/)• Microsoft Excel• Winplot (http://math.exeter.e...is/winplot.html)• Graphmatica (http://www8.pair.com/ksoft/)Some other graphing software or programs you could possibly use:• GraphCalc (http://www.graphcalc.com)• Graphing Calculator 3D (http://calculator.ru...ing-calculator/)• Logger Pro (http://www.vernier.com/soft/lp.html)• Maxima (http://maxima.sourceforge.net)• Fung-Calc (Linux only) (http://fung-calc.sourceforge.net)• Graph (http://www.padowan.dk/graph/)• Graphical Analysis (http://www.vernier.com/soft/ga.html)You shouldn't use Microsoft Excel for graphs, since it's not very accurate and clear, should you?

Wombaturds Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I hope it's okay if I have multiple general statements. It seems the Shadow Functions portfolio is asking for that. YEAH it seems like it does Would you express all the general statements in one whole equation if it's possible? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctrls Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Just found a really useful program that I thought was worth sharing, but it's called Mathics. They call themselves a "free version of mathematica" and it works pretty well for graphing functions. Syntax isn't exactly intuitive at first, but there's a pdf documentation which covers the basics to get started. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't figure out how to use it yet... but i'll do so eventually (hopefully).I suppose that's true. After working with it for a few hours however, I've noticed the graphing function is rather... buggy. It seems to be able to draw the curves correctly, but it seems to consistently get the positioning wrong, with the wrong axis and such. I would make a dedicated thread for it, but I'm not too sure if it's worth it since there's a number of issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bchen Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 why do you want to use "we"? sounds like you had some secret friends who helped you do the portfolio. In academic math writing/papers, everyone uses "we," I think it's considered more polite to include your reader in the discussion. The use of third person in math is unprofessional and sounds like you are a soulless liberal-arts major. Just by grabbing the random books on my desk right now and flipping to random pages: From a random page of Coxeter's Geometry Revisited: "We shall denote the interior angles at E and F simply by E and F." From a random page of Yaglom's Geometric Transformations: "Thus, if we know the segments AB and A'B', then we can construct..." (We are thus led also to a definition of "time" in physics. – Albert Einstein, from here.) Also, if you have the time, do try and learn LaTeX; its far superior to Microsoft Word (whose equation typesetting system is awful) and is the typesetting program used by virtually all professional mathematicians (not to mention scientists and linguists).

XeoKnight Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Quick question for anyone here; I've finished the IB, but my cousin is about to start it. Am I allowed to show him my IA for reference? Like those examples we got before doing ours? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
