Math Project Proposal

***One idea for our math project would be a type of "survival guide" for calculus, and those essential tools from algebra. I think that this project would work well because everyone in the class would be involved and not only could it be saved for next year, but we could use it in our entry level college courses. The book would cover topics and have helpful tips and explanations. It would be our customized text book designed for everyone in our class to understand. Through doing the project everyone would have a more solid grip on algebra and calculus concepts.

Another idea was making a math problem that dealt with gas prices. We could track costs of gas in different areas, and use math to figure out when the best time to buy gas is. Should you buy when the tank is on empty, at half tank, every time you drive, etc. We could work with averages, derivatives and other concepts.
