Suggestions include exploring advanced statistical methods, game theory applications in economic models, and the use of mathematical optimization techniques. The importance of originality and adherence to Intel competition guidelines is emphasized throughout the conversation.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for high school students, particularly sophomores and juniors, who are preparing for Intel projects in mathematics and economics, as well as educators guiding students in project selection.
Ecogen44 said:Hello all. I am a sophomore (rising) and I want to get started on an intel project for senior year. I have chosen to do a math subject, and have a few ideas, but I am doubting their originality. I want this to be very original. But, I am not sure which fields of math to look into. Does anyone have an idea of which topic I should delve into for math/economics related project. Thank you.
