Maks123456 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 What kind of IA gets the best mark? This is a very subjective question. I did my Math IA on Newton's method applied in finance and its derivation from Taylor series - something not as complicated as IAs I have seen written by my friends from satellite GPS systems to military weapons and precision. I am predicted approximately the same result as them - with a 5-10% difference. What I am implying is that you should read the criteria of the Math IA and follow it.You do not need to come up with "new" Math in order to achieve a high score. In fact, only a small part of the full criteria of the Math IA is based on the Maths in it itself (if I remember correctly). The other marks you receive for a good introduction and conclusion, precise language, understandable method, consistent and independent work, and etc.As such, I really suggest you open the Math IA criteria, read and follow it since following it will guarantee you a high score no matter your IA topic.Good luck! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
