The final assignment for the class is to work on a project of your choice involving the application of computational techniques to any physical science, engineering, social science, economics, etc. Please be prepared to talk briefly about your plans in class on Dec 11, and prepare the brief writeup mentioned above. The final report is due on Dean's date (Jan 13).
The scope of the project need not be enormous: it should be roughly comparable to one of the assignments in the course.
