Reports, general guidelines

• Be careful to define all variables and functions that you use properly.
• Make sure that things are in the right order, so that everything you are using at a certain point is previously defined.
• Present all theorems and mathematical laws you use in the analysis of your problem.
• If you have a lot of notation, it might be a good idea to include a list over all definitions.

The report should include:

1. Titlepage

   • Title of the report.
   • Names and personal data of the authors, plus class and year.
   • Abstract (sv. Referat), which is a very short summary of your report, including conclusions.
   
   

2. Introduction

   • An overview of the problem
   • Provide background information to put the problem in perspective.
   
   

3. Problem description

   • Here the problem should be described mathematically.
   
   

4. Preparation

   • Here are the theorems and mathematical techniques that are going to be used in
     the analysis presented.
   
   

5. Analysis

   • Here is where the actual mathematical analysis (the calculations) are presented.
   
   

6. Summary and conclusions

   • Short summary of the report.
   • Conclusions (if there are any).
   
   

7. Appendix

   • If you want to include figures, matlab code, or plots, you should put it in the Appendix.

Presentations, general guidelines

• Make sure you know what you are going to say, so you do not have to think about that during your presentation
• Finish on time, and plan for questions within your timeframe
• Use slides - saves time, and they can serve you as a support during your presentation
• Do not put too much on each slide
• Do not use too small font size
• Avoid refering to previous slides, repeat the formula/argument instead
• Do not try to say too much, skip details (save it for the report)

The presentation should include:

Introduction

• Introduce yourself/your group to the audience
• Describe the purpose of your presentation
• Describe in general terms the outline of your presentation

Conclusion

• Sum up your presentation
• Present your conclusions (if there are any)
