ECS 231 Final Project Report Guideline

• Project report should consist of the following essential components:
  1. problem definition and background
  2. aim(s)
  3. method(s)
  4. experimental setting (data), results and findings.

• The report can be organized as follows:
  1. Title and Author(s) with student ID and email address
  2. Abstract (few sentences to highlight major issues and findings)
  3. Introduction (background, motivation, purpose,...)
  4. Necessary definitions, concepts and theory
  5. Algorithm(s)
  6. Implementation details, such as
     routines used/develped; stopping criterion, input/output and so on.
  7. Experiment results:
     
     • what is the objective of each numerical experiment
       
     • where is the data from.
       
     • report experimental results to show the correctness and efficiency of your algorithm(s) and/or implementation(s) in tables or graphs.
     • state that whether the results meet the objective
       
  8. Concluding remarks: summarize what have you learned and what are remaining issues for further study.
  9. Acknowledgment (collaborator and helper if any)
  10. References

• The report is no less than 5 pages but not more than 10 pages
  include your codes as appendix, which will not be counted towards the page limit

• Email your report in the pdf file to zbai@ucdavis.edu before 3:00pm, June 7, 2019.

• Keep in mind that you need to provide a self-contained presentation about the topic you worked, and use the experimental data to to illustrate and support what you have learned, your findings and possible future study.
