Project: Real-World Application in Calculus I (related to Science, Technology, Engineering, and/or Mathematics)
1. Submit one real-world application and the complete solution that each requires concepts in Calculus I in order to solve. The linear function is not a Calculus I concept.
2. The real-world application and its solution must be original (your own work) and/or cited if other work was adapted. You may not simply copy or modify an existing application and/or solution.
Note: Textbook word problems are NOT an acceptable applied project.
3. Use APA style to cite any references (websites, books, journals, etc...) that are used to inspire your problems (and/or solutions).
4. These real-world applications should be related to current events and should clearly demonstrate concepts in covered in our Calculus I.
5. Your grade for this project will be based on (a) originality, (b) accuracy of problem and its solution, (c) relevancy to current events, and (d) relevance and clear connection to concepts (limits, derivatives maxima and minima) addressed in our Calculus I course.
You may submit all of your project in one document or a combination of documents, which may consist of word processing documents or spreadsheets or scanned handwritten work, provided it is clearly labeled where each task can be found. Be sure to include your name. Projects are graded on the basis of completeness, correctness, ease in locating all of the items, and strength of the narrative portions (originality and conclusion).
