Research topic

Hey, i hope this is the right forum. Basically i need to do some research on a topic and write a 4000 wrd essay on it. Now i love computers, but as computer sience isnt taught at our school i will have to integrate it into either maths or physics. If any of you guys have any idea on any research topic to do with computers (mainly hardware), that isnt too complicated, please tell me.

Thanx a lot guys
 
Is this for high school?

You have many options. First thing that comes to mind when I hear "physics" is quantum computing, but that's pretty advanced. First thing I think of releated to math is 3D graphics and hardware needed to draw such graphics, in the form of transformations. Computer science and math are closely related, computer hardware and physics can be, like the mechanics of a hard drive or electrical signal characterisitcs of DRAM.
 
Yes its for highschool, I dont have a great deal of exprience with mechanics, and it doesnt have to be too complicated either. testing different HSF's and finding their cooling and noise levels, comparing them would probably be enough. IT would be great if it could be something that i could experiment myself 😀

thnx
 
On the math side, search algorithms always provide a lot of interesting mathematical avenues to follow. Matrix multiplications for manipulation of coordinates in n-dimensional space (i.e. 2d plane, 3d cube) are also going to give you plenty to write about.
 
neural networks and thresholds and how they effect the world around us... neural networks can be applied to literally everything and are great at pattern recognition. neural nets pull from fields such as cognitive science, math, neuroscience, and computer science. jump into those and read up a little on connectionism and you will blow your teacher away... also having a 4000wd article that you've written on neural nets with research to back it up wouldn't be a bad thing to throw at colleges when you're applying.

have fun
 
thanx a lot guys, ill ask my science teacher what his oppinion is and will deff look into the different ones suggested.

Thnx 😉

What exactly are neutral networks btw?
 
There are a few areas in math that are only recently (past 20 or 30 years) being explored because they were a pita w/o a computer. If you did a little research on fractals and chaos, you may find enough information at your level, plus learn a great deal while you were working on it. It would, though, possibly take someone there helping to point you in the correct direction.
