PHYS 220 — Project Proposal
The assignment is
due at the beginning of lecture on
Friday, 6 Mar. Your proposal should comprise a single page that
covers the requirements listed below. This proposal is worth 10% of
your project grade. It should be prepared with attention to usage, grammar
and punctuation, as it is a written communication (think of it as a
proposal to a funding agency).
Your project proposal should be limited to a single page and
address the following five headings:
- Title: a descriptive title of the proposed work
- Abstract: a paragraph that outlines the salient aspects
of the work proposed; this is not a bulleted listing, but rather a
written paragraph
- Physics: a brief discussion of the physics behind the
proposed investigation
- Numerics: a brief discussion of the numerical techniques
to be used and method of error analysis
- Products: graphical and/or numerical results, paper and
or presentation materials you expect to produce as a result of the
proposed work
