Math 464 - Prof. Kennedy - Fall 2010 - R projects
There are two extra credit projects. Each is worth a maximum
of 2 percentage points to be added to your course average (on a
scale of 100). These projects are entirely optional.
The deadline for both projects is the last day of
class. You can turn in one or both earlier and I will grade and return
it within a week.
Write up and grading
For each project you should turn in a write up that is like a short
paper. Exposition is important. Your write up should
explain what you did in a way that would make an English professor
happy as well as a Math professor.
The write up of your project should have two parts describing what you
did in all parts of the project. It should include the R code and
the results of your simulations.
To get full credit your example should be non-trivial,
the results of your simulations should agree with your calculations
and the write up should be well-written, neat and complete.
It need not be typed, but typed write ups are welcome.
R is a free software package that can be downloaded from lots of places.
The above link is the official website. Downloads are available for
Windows, Mac and Linux.
Extra office hours for the projects
Taylor Johnson will be available in Math 220 for help with R and
the projects on
