Annotated Bibliography

INTRODUCTION (with new things highlighted)

This reference list is for my book on the Collatz Conjecture. It includes what references I have used for my research and how they are important. I wrote it in the format given to us in class because I felt that it was short and detailed at the same time, allowing for quickly going through a reference while writing the book and for finding information. The first paragraph contains four sentences about the information and the second paragraph explains how I could use it. I included this information because it is most relevant according to me.

The last reference is a clubbed one (19-22) because I felt that all the references contributed to the same topic in my book and it would be repetitive to write them separately. I also wrote a book analysis/ review for Is God a Mathematician? It is a book I took up as my Spring Reading and I wrote the review for my research given the similarity in audience and purpose with my book. I will release the Spring Reading as a separate section in the Notebook.

I found important information about the mathematical nature of the Collatz Conjecture and about illustration. However, I did not find much about the applications part of my book. My research might have to shift slightly towards non-mathematical websites or papers so that I can understand my readers. AB 1 -10 enclosed in document AB-v1 were scored.

I added AB-v2 with AB 11-22 and focused not only on the mathematics, but also on articles about writing books.
