Calc 2 application project: Isaac Newton and the invention of Calculus

*For your application project, you will be writing a 1-2 page paper about a connection (however small) to something we have seen or discussed in class. Goal: *Create a technical and/or historical piece of writing that is accessible to your classmates. The idea is that your peers and I would learn something new and/or have a new perspective about a piece of mathematics or a mathematician (at least somewhat) related to Calculus 2. Requirements: Excluding your Works Cited/Bibliography: Minimum of 1 page, maximum of 2 pages, single-spaced or 1.5-spaced text addressing your topic. Margins cannot exceed 1 inch; maximum font size of 12 point font. Use at least 1 parenthetical citation (for either a direct quote or your own paraphrasing of a quote) to cite an academic source. (e.g., a book, a .edu website, an academic paper, etc.) You must include a proper Works Cited/Bibliography at the end of your paper on its own separate page. Using just 1 source is fine!! Include at least one non-textual element, such as a graph/chart, picture, or equation. The non-textual element may not take up more than 1/4 to 1/3 of a page! Don't forget to cite this as well! Use a technical, scientific writing style. (i.e., Do not use "I" or "me"; Do not make sweeping claims that you don't justify carefully; Do not share your own opinions) Choose a topic with specificity. (e.g., Bad topic: "The Importance of Math in the World"; Good topic: "Isaac Newton's Contributions to Optics")
