Length of reports
It is recommended that project reports should be restricted in length as follows:
Type of project | Page limit |
---|---|
20-point individual project | 30 |
20-point group project | 50 |
40-point group project | 70 |
40-point individual project (Any) | 50 |
Please note the following:
- An excellent project worth first-class marks may well be shorter than this.
- If your project is likely to be longer than the recommended length, you must discuss the report with your supervisor.
- The guidelines refer to projects prepared using the standard LaTeX set-up as described below.
- The guidelines exclude the title page, abstract, declaration, contents, references, figures, tables and computer programs.
- The guidelines include any appendices.
Writing reports
Use of LaTeX is compulsory if you studied it in a previous or concurrent mathematics course.
You can either copy a sample report from overleaf, or download the project package below.
Please use the following set-up within LaTeX:
\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage[y4project]{edmaths}
Project package (.sty file) [password protected]
The style file has to be in the same folder as your tex file. If you are using overleaf, you need to upload the style file to your overleaf account.
