What are good math-related science fair projects

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-11-11] [Hit: ]
Please help me choose on what to do for science fair project. I want to impress people, but I cant even decide on what to choose. I like sudoku, chess, checkers,......
At first, I decided on how to solve a Rubik's Cube mathematically, but I can't even solve the dang thing! I'm not sure if I an change my topic but why not give it a try? Please help me choose on what to do for science fair project. I want to impress people, but I can't even decide on what to choose. I like sudoku, chess, checkers, calculus, computers, robots (even though I've never built one yet), and engineering stuff. I really need help on deciding a project. All the things at want to do, just seems out of my reach. My scientific level is low but my mathematical way of thinking is high. Anyways, thanks.

You could do:
-The math behind logic problems (google introduction to theoretical logic, maybe)
-If you like geometry, there are a lot of classical geometry problems that have a lot of history. For example, Gauss' straightedge problems. That's a really nice result and one you could demonstrate nicely.
-tessellations (start with wikipedia; lots of geometry there)
-For some calculus based projects, if you've seen sequences and series you could do some more work on what it means for sequences to converge
- Using calculus to prove various volume formulas
- Using calculus to compute something difficult- is there a strangely shaped building where you live, does the courthouse have a dome? Are the blueprints public record- find the volume of the building.
-If you can program, write a game or a simulation of something. If you can't, try to find a free download that will let you- starlogo-t is a visually based programming language
-Do a project on the 4-color theorem
-Game theory is a particularly fun branch of mathematics. Look in Dynamic Non-Cooperative Game Theory (looks like it's available on google books) for some easier examples.
-Knot theory is also fun. Try http://www.oglethorpe.edu/faculty/~j_nar…
