Computer Science Project Ideas?
 
I'm a senior in college and we have to do a semester long project for our Computer Science seminar. If can be pretty much anything from designing and writing software to doing research on a computer science topic.

(I also have a strong background in math and would like to tie math into whatever project I choose but this isn't a requirement it's just a preference so any ideas even without math are still great)

If you have any ideas at all please post them!

Find the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. ;)

Do a computer model that replicates the function of the Antikythera mechanism. http://www.antikythera-mechanism.gr/

It was an ancient machine for calculating lunar cycles and other time-related stuff. The fact that someone could build this 2000+ years ago is staggering.

It would certainly put your math skills to work. And give you points for originality.:D

A few years ago, we were trying to sell our house, and it just wasn't getting much interest. I had the idea of making it stand out a bit in the listings, by making the last 3 digits of the asking price 777. Not sure if it worked or not, but it was sold within a couple of months, if I recall. Oh, and we started seeing copycats in the listings, too! :lol

Hmmm... I'm hoping to sell and move within a year... I'm going to remember that trick! :thumbsup

jfrog, are you more into statistics, calculus, acounting, design, or geometry? What kind of math would you like your project to include?
