For the first project of the semester, you will be able to select one of the following problems to solve. You should use Matlab or a similar tool to solve the problem. When the project is due, you must turn in your code as well as a 5+ page paper (12 point font, 1.5 spaced, normal margins) describing what you did and what you found. As described in the syllabus, the projects should be done in groups. Each member of the group will also submit an evaluation describing what he/she did as part of the project as well as the work done by others.
Psychology Option - For this option you will be modeling neurological systems that produce certain repeating patterns in the brains of various creatures. To do this, you will use the Genesis package as well as some of your own coding.
Physics Option - Magnetism project
Biology - Population biology, throw in some non-linear dynamics stuff to explore.
Chemistry - Chemical Equilibria
Engineering - Farzan's project with solving the Schrodinger equation.
Geoscience - ???
