Final Projects
See http://wstein.org/edu/2010/480b/projects/ for all of the materials associated to the final projects.
* LIGHTNING FINAL TALKS * These will be "lightning talks", with a strict 5 minute time limit. Test your computer with the projector ahead of time or else make sure to give me a file that can be displayed on my laptop. Come to class early. ================= WEDNESDAY ================= 1. Title: UW Taveling Salesman Group Members: David Moon, Bryan Clark, TJ Armstrong Current Status: We've worked out several different paths so far. Now we're just trying to improve our route. 2. Title: Sundials and apparent solar motion Group Members: Mack Talcott, Dan Kowalczyk, Mary Labissoniere, Leah Bueing Current Status: We're exploring the best way to parametrize the sun's motion and discussing what exactly our program will consist of. We're trying to decide between a motion model based on local noon (from a paper we found :P) or making our own simple solar system model. Our current goal: input a date, time, longitude, and lattitude and get back the position (azimuth and zenith angle) of the sun. 3. Title: Implementing the Stereographic Projection in Sage Group Members: Jeff Beorse, Kevin Lindeman, Simon Spicer Current Status of project: Getting there. We know what we can and still want to do; it's now a case of sitting down and coding up the various aspects of the project. 4. Title: Modeling Racko Group Members: Carrie Franks, Ruby Garza, Amanda Geddes, Chris Carter Current Status: Right now we are all coding our various portions of the program. We haven't started the paper yet. 5. Title: Performing Classical Lamination Theory Calculations and Failure Analysis of composite laminates Group Members: Charles Callahan, Elizabeth Lewis, Jennifer Porter, Chris Bolton Current Status: Have coded majority of CLT calculations. Brainstorming and researching efficient methods for collecting user input and effectively displaying output. 6. Title: Experimenting w/ OneBusAway and Sage Goup Members: Kevin Chu, Alli Adamonis, Dan Meyering and Tim Willis Current Status: Working out some data acquisition issues from OBA/KC Metro but we have a relatively clear idea of what we'd like to do once we get that sorted 7. Title: Finding the most efficient school bus routes Group Members: David Lee, Ngoc Nguyen, Erin Crenshaw, Sweety Grewal Current Status: We have most of the basics of our program worked out so far. We are currently working on the graphics and the more complicated parts of the algorithm. 8. Title: Developing on the Sage Notebook Group Members: Hoon ================= FRIDAY ================= 9. Title: Ham Sandwich Cuts Members: Chloe Huber, Maddie Romansic, Lauren Bobel, Andy Barr, Matt Junge Current Status: We are about 2/3 done. There are a couple coding tasks left to do, but we have the skeleton of our project walking around. We are yet to start writing up our process. 10. Title: 3D printing solid modeler Group Members: Fareed Faghih Aaron Schilling Marcus Lew Current Status: The basic modeling capabilities are completed, including various types of primitive shapes and transforms. More transforms and primitives will be added. Additionally, a test 3d print was completed successfully. 11. Title: Badassleship Members: Marissa Hackett, Matt Lane, Zach Badger-Markey Current Status: Our goals are to create an online battleship game where two players play against each other and are rated based on an ELO rating system. So far we have the ELO algorithm written, and a working game. We are working on making the game based online. 12. Title: UW Maps Group Members: David Ou, David Luu-Van, Steven Berry Current Status: Have a working TSP solution in python with Ant Colony Optimization, but trying to get it work in javascript. Any suggestions will be helpful, tried using pyjamas to no avail. On another note, we have the Google Maps code worked out so once the logic is translated into javascript the app should look pretty nice. 13. Title: Calculator Module Group Members: Yifan Zhang Current Status: Got the basic stuff done and am working on some more advanced stuff Presentation Request: Friday the 4th sounds good 14. Title: Sudoku Group Members: Derek Anderson and Jeremy Wright Current Status: Puzzle generator and solver and interactive puzzle so anyone can try to solve it with hints. And possibly a timer and a guess counter. See who can do it the fastest with the least amount of errors. 15. Title: Haven't decided on one yet Group members: Chris Thralls Current Status: Still in the thought formulation portion of the project. 16. Title: Rigid Body Simulation, Python Physics Simulation Group members: Kevin Stueve Current status of your project: There is a lot more work to do.
