ACT E – Generating a Graphical Representation
ACT E: Generating a Graphical Representation
Create a graphical representation of a mathematical model.
This representation will consist mostly of an appropriately labeled graph that will help your audience to understand the model used in the paper you choose to report on.
Choosing a paper:
Again, your target audience are your classmates. You should assume that they didn’t read the paper and want to know what it is about.
As part of the feedback you will receive for your ACT D, your TA will give you a recommendation on whether your paper is fit or not for ACTs E and F.
You must form groups with students from your tutorial. Groups with members of different tutorials will not be accepted under any circumstances.
You must choose a paper that has been approved by your TA.
In the unlikely event that none of your team’s papers has been recommended, then the team
needs to find a new paper for ACT E.
Graphical representation of a simplified version of the model
One paragraph with an overview of the paper (no more than 250 words)
One paragraph explaining how your graphical representation was derived from the model:
Assumptions made with an explanation of your choices (it should be easy for a reader to follow the simplifications you made from the paper’s model to your graphical

Citation: “We chose to examine this paper entitled ‘Poison dart frog reproductive habits in human impacted environments’ by da Silva, Zhu, and Razumkova.” (note: this paper is fictional, it’s not a real thing!).
Description: “In this graph the authors show the results of their frog population model under different distances (d in km) between reproductive sites and the use of dangerous pesticides. This forms the basis for their recommendation.

In the paper, the authors include other effects, like the types of pesticides. For our graphical representation, we simplified the model by considering only pesticide pyraclostrobin and used Euler’s method with the resulting differential equation.”

Grading Rubric.
Learning Objective Clarification
Your submission is appropriate to the audience and their prior knowledge.
Submission clearly and explicitly states the purpose of creating the graphical representation.
The summary uses complete sentences and correct grammar.
Visual Communication
The graphical representation is clear and easy to parse. You must also make sure that your axes are labelled, units are present, and that your graphic has a legend (if appropriate).
Mathematical Models
Explain the process of simplifying the model from the paper you chose to produce your own graphical representation.

Constraints and Shortcomings
Your submission explains the assumptions you made to simplify your paper’s model and the constraints that result from the terms you ignored. In other words, the report makes it clear how and why you simplified the model and the consequences of the simplifications.
Connections
Explain how your graphic relates to the topic of the article you chose, specifically the problem or question it’s addressing. What is your graph showing about the topic discussed in the article?
