Ayisha Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hey guys!!!! I have been struggling to come up with a topic for my Math SL IA since the last couple of weeks. I finally have a few ideas. I would like to know whether these ideas are appropriate for standard level. I was thing of using Catalan numbers to find the number of ways a convex polygon of n+2 sides can be split into triangles by connecting vertices OR Using Catalan numbers to find the number of ways to connect the points on a circle with disjointed chords. Any help would be greatly appreciated !!! Thank you! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IB Math Helper Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 This sounds like a pretty advanced HL topic. If you're knowledgeable about Catalan numbers and combinatorics, go for it. However, if you simply get bogged down on the mathematical details and do not discuss its applications, you will not score highly on the personal engagement and/or reflection criteria.
