Final Project Poster Sessions from 3-5:30.
Be sure that your poster
is facing so that it is taller than it is wider. Bring your own beverage.
If you want to bring something to share, feel free - Dr. Sarah will provide
some food including those donuts you've requested.
Note: The written component can be turned in later - is must be posted
to the bulletin board by Wed Dec 13 and it will be posted here.

Project 5: Your group presentation should include some or most of the
following: the metric form equation ds^2 or
ds, what the metric form
represents physically; the curvature of the metric; geodesics;
physically interesting features; historical significance and history of the
related people;
significance in current research.
