Guest millie12 Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) I have currently chosen to investigate tidal waves for my maths IA. However, I am unsure as to what other explorations I can do under this. (And whether or not this is too simple...) Is modelling and predicting future tidal waves appropriate? I have secondary sources that'll give me data of tides at different points in times at a beach, so I will be able to graph them. I will also use trig and algebra to find the ideal time to visit the beach with my "ideal" tidal height of 1.5 metres I am uncertain as to what other maths/exploration I can apply to this Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Lixter Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 The very concept of this topic is rather intriguing and I find that it is a topic worth looking further into. However, you may want to make your IA question more specific and concise. Here is my advice: - Instead of saying "is... appropriate", try rephrasing it into a question like "When is the ideal tidal height at (location) determined through (method)?" The example that I have provided is nowhere close to being entirely perfect, however, the point that I am raising is to be more specific with your question. - Try being more concise with the term "future". Do you mean to predict the height of tidal waves later this afternoon or the height of tidal waves 20 or even 30 years later? Hope this helps!

kateanais Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 Hi, I'm currently doing a similar IA topic, on modelling tidal waves, but I cannot find any secondary data sources. Would you be able to send me the one you used? I would be very appreciative. Thanks!! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a chance of you explaining me what you did, I am curious and keen kn knowing Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
