Guest SuperDuperTimmy Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I've taken on the daunting challenge of doing the Extended Essay in math, and I think i have the topic down although I haven't quite figured out the title yet, but im doing the aplications of prime numbers in public key crytography (specifically the RSA algorythm) but what I'm worried about is that IB asks for some sort of mathematical operations (right?) which I have no idea how to include, any suggestions?

snowday Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) I'm pretty sure that a Math EE should include actual mathematic calculations, at least all the ones that I have seen are quite extensive in their actual usage of mathematics. I am unsure as to whether or not you can simply write an EE on the applications of the algorithm, or if you need to do some actual calculations. However, in my opinion, the calculations are really what make the paper a mathematics paper. Edited November 19, 2007 by snowday Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
