FIRST TOPIC: Combinations and Permutations in DNA- 4 simple building blocks, infinite possibilities

Exploring how everything’s genetic makeup is composed of just 4 letters, yet the possibilities for variation within even one species is nearly infinite. I would talk about how 4 things can be arrange numerous ways, in numerous patterns

Ekaterina Guryeva

TOPIC 2: Using optimization in a real life scenario

I will take a (yet to be identified) problem to do with the use of resources, and use mathematics to explore how they can be maximized for (ex.) building infrastructure, or things essential for communities (I would pick one specific one and really develop it)

Ekaterina Guryeva

TOPIC 3: Differentiation and Integration with acceleration/velocity

Explore the effectiveness of a transport system or roads in a city based on the average velocity of cars/bicycles/pedestrians and thus how much space needs to be allocated to each.

This would use more than just calculus, but other areas of math to figure out population size, traffic concentration, etc. (many other smaller details to take into account and take an average from later)

I want to show mathematically why Barbie's (dolls) body measurements are unrealistic and how dangerous is it to have same proportions for a real human. Also, I want to look at the proportions in sculptures and probably compare them to the Barbie's body proportions. I have not particular topic yet, but this is what I want to explore.

How is the "Ant on a rubber rope" paradox possible?

An ant starts to crawl along a taut rubber rope 1 km long at a speed of 1 cm per second (relative to the rubber it is crawling on). At the same time, the rope starts to stretch uniformly by 1 km per second, so that after 1 second it is 2 km long, after 2 seconds it is 3 km long, etc. Will the ant ever reach the end of the rope?

My topic is the expected value of gacha. Gacha is similar to a prize vending machine at a carnival. You pay a small amount of money to receive an item at random. On this topic, I devote myself to calculate the expected value of gacha to complete a specific number of items n. The conclusion should be to complete all items how much money we should pay as expected value's of view supposing that doing one gacha costs $1.

The goal is to explore the math behind overbooking flights; I want to investigate - with the help of a very concrete example: my own flight back to Austria (knowing the plane type makes it possible to have actual numbers and researching the no-show rate for this very flight rout makes the probability more realistic) - the math behind airplane overbooking.

Given that it is an Airbus A321 with 188 seats, how many of them should the airline overbook in order to maximize profit?

Inspiration and help may come from the following websites but is not restricted to them:

The preliminary topic for my mathematical exploration is how airplanes use flight routes to maximize their profits. Here, I plan to explore what the shortest route that Indonesia's national airlines take in order to maximize their profits to different destinations.

Guiding questions:

1. The amount of fuel that it uses to fly from one airport to another is proportional to the square of the velocity of the plane. How fast should the plane go to maximize profits?

2. Some planes also choose to go a longer distance to avoid certain parts of the globe. What effect will this show on the profits earned and how can this be calculated?

3. It is found that certain air companies pick the shortest plane route to increase profits. However, by how much do their profits increase even when they take a different path?
