Mathematics Exploration – Proposal Form

Name: Math Course: AI

Math Exploration Topic: Level: HL

Stable marriage problem
Date:8th May 2024
What is the Aim of the exploration?
The aim of exploring the stable marriage problem in a Mathematics IA for the AI HL course is to introduce
students to mathematical modeling and algorithm analysis. Through this exploration, students analyze algo-
rithms like the Gale-Shapley algorithm, interpret their solutions in real-world contexts, and understand their
applications in various fields. This fosters critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a deeper understanding
of mathematical concepts and their practical significance.

Which are the topics in Mathematics you would apply in this exploration?
1. Graph Theory
2. Linear Algebra
3. Optimisation Theory
4. Probability and Statistics
5. Game Theory

Are the topics commensurate with the syllabus of

the course level
Yes, the listed topics are generally commensurate with the syllabus of the IB Mathematics.Math AI
HL emphasises on real world application and interpretation making this a suitable topic for my
IA.By exploring the stable marriage problem and its mathematical underpinnings, students engage
with various mathematical concepts and techniques relevant to the AI HL syllabus while addressing
a meaningful and interesting problem in mathematics.
Write any other topics in your choice as second option:
The mathematics of bluffing at poker.
