Math Studies IA topic

Hi there!

I badly need a topic for IA in Math Studies.

I have come up with this topic:  temperature changes in a particular region for a year and see if it follows a sine curve or not. If yes, you can apply all the properties of sine curve , altitude , periodicity etc and study the temperature change

is this valid?

and does anyone know of any such studies and where i could find it on the internet

thanks in advance!

This is very interesting. The data is readily available and you would have a good idea whether you are on the right track or not. Since most of what you have learned applied to linear regression or linear relationships, you can try plot arcsin or arccos of temperature, against time of year.

ummmm...as soon as i sat down to write my IA proposal, i found myself stuck.

like, i gather the data from the internet. i take the average temperature reading for each month. so that gives me 12 readings to plot on a graph. i have temperature on the y axis and months listed on the x axis....but what after that?

i am so confuseddd
