Bart van Driel Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I wanted to do something with differentiation and integration for my math IA, Would proving Taylor and Maclaurin series be of a high enough level for math SL, I need a first draft in 4 days.

kw0573 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 You should add something original to the proof, or some conceptual understanding because the proof may be very short. (In class we proved it in few lines.) Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The criterion explicitly states for the Maths difficulty to be "commensurate" to your level. Taylor & Maclaurin series are far too high for Maths SL - I mean, we don't even have Integration by Parts in the syllabus. You'd be surprised at what can suffice for a 6/6 in the level of maths Criterion, and it has been advised in the past that in the interest of maximising marks, not to significantly go beyond what's actually in the syllabus. General Differentiation & Integration applied in a real-life situation, perhaps kinematics or rockets would be more appropriate for a Maths SL IA.
