Revision as of 04:18, 17 November 2011

Information about the final presentations and paper project is found below. The schedule for final presentations is as follows


Date range Groups
12/1 Inverted pendulum, Inelastic bouncing ball, Chaotic faucet
12/6 Synchronization, ferrofluid
12/8 Plinko chaos, faraday waves

General information

The final consists of a written 5-10 page paper and a 20-30 minute presentation to be completed by each group. We expect the paper and presentations to clearly describe the background, theory, experiment, and results of the experiment. Remember experiments do not always work as expected and often times it is the failures that are turn out to be most interesting. Therefore we are interested in learning about all aspects of the experiments performed, essentially what ''worked'' and what ''did not work''.


Presentations

Presentations will be given by each group on the dates assigned above. Presentations should be collaborative in that each group member should actively participate in describing one section of the presentation. Below are some specifics which are required for presentations

  • All graphs must be labeled.
  • Symbols should be introduced before used.
  • In most cases please include pictures and drawings of apparatus, experiment, measurement, etc.
  • We are studying interesting nonlinear phenomena but remember all the data points come from individual measurements. Show us the primary data before showing the extracted data. For instance show some sample time series with a clear explanation of what analysis is being done before showing the bifurcation plot.
  • All labs contained an imaging component. Please show a few relevant videos to illustrate phenomena and highlight features of interest.

Paper

The paper portion of the final project should consist of a 5-10 page journal style article describing the laboratory experiment performed. The paper will be written in the style of the journal [Chaos | http://chaos.aip.org/]. We expect this article to be formatted in the style of the journal using Latex. Free latex editors can be found easily for any platform with a google search and the latex package will need to be installed. Latex installations for various platforms and information can be found [here | http://www.latex-project.org/].
