Part B: Applications of Function Modelling (Evaluation Criteria: T2, C2) Research uses of function modelling in one of the fields supplied below. If you wish to research a different field you must first clear this with the teacher. Your report will include: a. examples of the kinds of phenomena in that field that are modelled with functions b. reasons why it is advantageous to be able to model various phenomena in this field c. an example of an actual case study in which functions were / are used to model a particular phenomenon d. a full accounting of the consequences of being able to model this phenomenon e. any other information or commentary you deem necessary or useful f. references, if any Available fields include: Biology & Ecology: ecosystems; medicine Business & Economics: supply and demand; revenue, expenses and profit Physical Sciences: chemistry; astronomy; physics Statistics: population models; trends in data Computer Science: the cost of algorithms Important Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty.
