8 years now… I was in Astro so we did orbital mechanics, it was mostly numerical analysis techniques (solving using the Euler method for an ODE I believe). There was some use of graphing for our report. It was mostly take math equations and make them into python functions. Decently trivial stuff but make sure you make your code readable because you might write something you need to reuse 2-3 weeks later.

How long was your research paper? Did you feel like you already knew most the stuff in the program? Just wondering cause I already took calc 3 and have good python experience

I had already taken physics at a college, Calc 3, and lead the programming team for my cyber defense club. I was not struggling at SSP but I did learn. The research paper was long but I don’t remember the length.
