Clarissa C Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Hi friends, Following up from my previous post, I talked to my math teacher as I found an egg shape building, and what I'm planning to do is model the building by volume revolution from a curve, and then maximise the space inside. However, I don't really see the HL part of this and it seems like something SL could do as well. Any ideas on what kind of math I can include to make it more suited for HL? Thanks for your input!

Lixter Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Hi Clarissa, I don't know if you had learnt about statistics but statistics is usually a good way to increase the level of math used in any IA (speaking from personal experience). Hope this helps! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw0573 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 I don't think statistics always increase level of math. I see so many questions here where a simple exploration in differential equations and (relatively) simple multivariable calculus would be much stronger IAs, but instead people opt for some convoluted statistics that they can't explain. For the egg shape building, you can try explore geometry on a curved surface, for example, the area of a curved window on the building. That would be very difficult but you can think along those lines. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
