Project Euler

Project Euler is a series of challenging mathematical/computer programming problems that will require more than just mathematical insights to solve. Although mathematics will help you arrive at elegant and efficient methods, the use of a computer and programming skills will be required to solve most problems.

The motivation for starting Project Euler, and its continuation, is to provide a platform for the inquiring mind to delve into unfamiliar areas and learn new concepts in a fun and recreational context.

PreCalculus in the Work Force

Where do your parents work? What do you want to be when you grow up? Investigate one of these careers and see how they utilize or benefit from concepts studied in precalculus.

  1. Run the idea by my first to define the scope and sequence of work to be completed
  2. Conduct the research / experimentation / analysis
  3. Create a presentation of your findings
