English or Math EE? Reasons?

[Maurice Ravel]

Hello,

I am trying to find a good topic for my EE. The thing is that I already have a very specific English EE topic, but the number of English EE handed in is so huge that I am worried they would find it too redundant.

Well-done math extended essays do reputedly better than well-done English ones because: 1)There's a clear answer and there's nothing as 'your opinion' (at least at our level) and 2) Nobody chooses mathematical topics, so they don't have crazy standards.

But if I were to do math, what type of topic would be suitable and what area would you suggest I focus my research on, so that I wouldn't pick a) something incredibly complicated b) something that has been done for ages (Pythagorean theorem!).

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I would highly recommend you to do an English EE because the process in the beginning is much easier than it is for Math. Unless you have already learned a fair amount of university-level mathematics, I strongly advise you to stay away from it. Not to mention, if you do pick Math and a few months down the road you may realize that you still have no idea to do.

English EEs are in such "high demand" so to speak because, as previously mentioned, it IS easier than maths. I did mine in french and I must say that compared to my friends who are doing theirs in physics/psychology/chemistry mine was a piece of cake.
