In the final project, students of Math 450 put into practice once more the ideas discussed in the course: modeling, measurement, synthesis, and a return to modeling. Projects involved submitting a rough draft which was revised for the final submission, and an oral presentation in the last week of class; the projects were considered in place of a final exam for the course.
