Student Projects for Heavenly Mathematics & Cultural Astronomy

These are just a selection of some of the projects. Some projects were not in a format suitable for putting on the web.

Please note that I don't supervise these projects. They represent independent student work, and I've put them up just to give a sense of my course and the enthusiasm of my students. Many of them contain serious errors and plagiarim. However, I'm still proud of what they have achieved, and I hope you'll enjoy looking at them, too!
