aditorres9 Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 So i'm thinking about doing my Maths IA on how the wingspan of a paper plane affects its flight. I would be measuring it by constructing an experiment with paper planes with a small, medium and large wingspan as well as having planes made of pieces of paper with different densities and would then throw them all consistently with possibly the use of a contraption that I would have to make so that it is a fair test. Although I'm not sure if there would be enough maths for me to get a good grade. If you have any advice, it would be appreciated Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Relying on statistics as the sole math component is risky because you might not get good data. In addition it is difficult to communicate stats effectively. You can also go for combination of stats and something more theoretical (eg trig, calculus, vectors) and it's safer because you'll still have a lot of math even if data is garbage.
