hey there! its my first post, and quite an urgent one.

i am into my last year of high school, and i am required to write a 4000 word maths essay. i chose to write on maths, because i like maths! but i am quite stucked at this stage...

i decided to writing on the mathematical relationship on golden ratio and fibonacci numbers, here is a link to my unfinished essay

http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/4/29/1888642/extended%20essay.doc

just a word file.

there is a little mistake at Pg6-7, i am still figuring out how to correct it

it will be great if you guys can take a look and see what else i can write about! i am think writing about Binet's formula, but not sure how to link it, and i need some comprehensive resources.

if you do have some nice links, pls share, i am quite desperate to get it done ASAPthanks a lot guys!

you can make amendment or change or advise on the word itself, and would be wonderful if you can email me the file, or add me on msn at <email removed>
thanks thanks thanks!

What is your target audience? How much math do they know? What is expected of the essay?
 
hey, sorry, forgot to mention. the audience is the markers, it is a requirement of my High school course. here the marking scheme

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
