Ideas/suggestions for a math research topic?

I have to write an extensive research paper for English relating to my major, mathematics. I'm having difficulty selecting a particular topic to focus my research on since most areas of mathematics are so broad.





If you could, please give me some suggestions or ideas on selecting a topic. I would highly appreciate your help.

Ideas/suggestions for a math research topic?
How about regarding the history of mathematics?





You could write about a particular mathematician or the introduction of certain numbers, like zero or imaginary numbers.





Your university library should have some great books on the subject. In fact look for the class offered at your school dealing with the history of math and check out the text book.

Reply:I had to do research once and I chose the origin of probability. It really was very informative and interesting. It goes back thousands of years. You would be surprised how probability was and still is used!!
