would it be possible to do my maths ia for sl on Carmichael numbers and fermats little theorem and simplify it down because i really dont know what other topic to go for i wanted to do on golden ratio of beauty but i heard its overdone so

I am doing an interview with one client next week, but I couldn't decide the questions to bring out the client requirements or specifications, and problem statement. What could be some general questions to bring out the specifications like 'What is the most important thing to consider with designing this product'?

So our school just started talking about the math SL ia which will be due in February, and our teachers gave us close to zero pointers. I have no idea where to start. I initially wanted to do something related to the Gini coefficient and wealth inequality in certain countries, but I heard somewhere that statistics IAs are often marked harder by examiners. I want to do something related to art, (such as the vitruvian man, da Vinci's use of mathematics) but I don't know how that could connect to math and the SL syllabus. Architecture is also something I'm open to. It would be great if u gu

I recently started on my Biology IA and yesterday finished my experiment. The topic for my IA is what is Best Way to Retain Protein within Vegetables in relation to the Amount Needed for Human. I was going to measure protein by looking for the pH (which I did tons of research on). I used pH strips and sadly I don't think they worked. My question is what should I do? I have numbers I can put into a data chart but they well DEFINITELY be off and not accurate. I know that we have too talk about human error and things that affected our experiment so should I just put that information in that secti

I am thinking of doing my IA on the optimum volleyball net height based on average player height? My teacher has given no guidance, so I'm not sure if this is even somewhat doable. Does anyone have any thoughts or advice? Thanks!

Hi, I really need help on my Math Studies IA. I am investigating the relationship between language ability (the number of languages a person speaks) and academic performance (their most recent IB grade) in Math and English. I want to see if there is a correlation between these two variables of language ability and academic performance, and later on compare to see whether language ability has a stronger impact on performance in Math or English. Can someone advise me the math processes I could use for this. I tried making a scatter plot but since both of my variables consist of whole numbers it

I have decided to have my Math IA revolve around the probability behind the prisoner's dilemma. I need help deciding on three simple maths and one sophisticated math to explain the game (besides a tree diagram and expected prison sentences). I am afraid that I won't have much numbers/math to work with. Thank you in advance.

Please answer my survey!! It takes like a minute and a half and I need the data :< https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScmTfr5eVf7jaI39WL5zOXZfFReC3iMlsJom1ln3xHPRKRq9Q/viewform?usp=sf_link

Hey Guys, For my Bio IA I wanted to to do it on plants or food, but I wanted to do my without physically bringing or buying any plants (cause they’re too expensize for the quantity I’m buying). So if you guys have any ideas for these topics or biology in general that would help so much! Or if you have any pointers to build on or telling me what topics to avoid will help as well. ALSO I WANTED TO USE A COLORIMETER IN MY IA, BUT I DONT HAVE ANY IDEAS ON ANY GOOD EXPERIMENTS TO USE THEM (the personal engagement is weak... so if you have any ideas for colorimeter will also help...)

Hi, I'm taking Latin SL and my we have a new teacher for our class. (he doesn't really know what's going on) I need to know how to format: How do you cite latin translations for the ia when you analyze it? Am I supposed to include the original text along with the translation in my dossier? how do I cite pictures? if you have any links to examples or whatever, that would be greatly appreciated

Hello, I am finishing up my IA and I realized that I have two dependent variables. My question is "to what extent does the concentration of copper sulfate affect seed germination" my independent variable is the concentration. But I have both the root length and the shoot length as my dependent variables, is that a problem or is it fine? Should I take one out and do just one? Thanks for the help

For my IA, I am trying to determine the conductance (ion flow) in different drinks such as distilled water, Gatorade, Powerade, coconut water, orange juice, Pedialyte, and a solution containing sodium chloride. I was planning on doing this by using a digital multimeter and measuring the resistance of the substance and then taking the inverse of it to get the conductance. I would determine whichever substance had the highest conductance and by doing so, would be able to find the substance with the most electrolytes. Growing up playing sports, I have always been told the importance of staying h

Hi! I'm planning on submitting my proposals for my biology IA soon but I'm not sure my ideas will work! I wanted to do something with enzymes, but unfortunately couldn't come up with any good ideas that weren't already done in class. I was thinking about doing the effect of heat on Vitamin C concentration (however, this seems a little too much chem-ish?) or the concentration of Vitamin C on different stages of ripening fruit? I also thought about doing a database lab, but I'm not sure where to get data. I thought about doing the effect of birth control pills on estrogen levels, but again,

Hey guys I am a Maths HL student, and recently i came up with an idea to do my Maths IA on, comparing two ways of solving Trig equations. One of the ways of solving Trig equations, is by using the trig identities and the other way is by using the De Moivre's theorem. I was wondering if I could explain these 2 ways and different ways and i could somehow come to a conclusion on which way is better (i.e. by counting number of step required to arrive at the general solution) for what type of trig equation I understand both methods quite well since I watched the Khan Academy Videos on them!! Bu

Hello people of IB survival. I am at that phase that most of you have been through were I need to find a topic for my math IA. I want to see what do you suggest for a good SL exploration I think I am more into algebra and calculus as general areas so I hope you could help me spark up some ideas! Thanks in advance! and those that would tell me that I need to find my own topic please don't bother share your opinion with me because it is not needed.

Hey Guys, So i'm writing a practice Paper 1 tomorrow. I have no idea what my thesis should be nor do I have any idea as to what techniques I can analyze. Here is a link to the document (also the file uploaded): http://www.sunnyhills.net/apps/download/2/V7Rl2KgKkmiPyNJ2mVJst0WliYy8B2ODEwB1gjKsDjxS8wfu.pdf/IB%20Lit%20Paper%201%20and%202.pdf Scroll down to page 6 (labelled page 2). It's the excerpt that starts with "The buyers walk the line of our tobacco." Please please any ideas you have would be awesome. The markscheme is: An adequate to good literary commentary will: grasp the basic situati
