A good report contains at least: An introduction , topic and scope of the report (what are you researching and

d which questions do you answer), relevance in mathematics or other fields, possibly point to previous results in the literature, short outline of the report. Theory , the mathematical foundation. Experiments , use tables or graphs for clarity. Conclusion/Discussion , summarise the results of your study, maybe point to possibilities for further research. Bibliography , your sources (books, articles, internet). Appendices , for example for selected C++ source code.

Scientific content
Motivate your choices for methods and experiments, for example by making a bridge between what you did before and are about to tell the reader now. Do not use, e.g. Another method is discrepancy sampling, it works like this. . . . Instead use, e.g. The errors convergence order using random points can be improved significantly by using predetermined point clouds instead. This method, called discrepancy sampling, was originally. . . . Do not use it can be shown inappropriately: when some statement is nontrivial, either prove it, or provide a reference to work by others. Always discuss the results in tables and figures. The reader should not have to do that himself. Do not just repeat the number in tables, but lift out the results that are strange, or the most illustrative. Always have a Conclusion section, either at the end of each topic (here: RNG and MC), or at the end of the entire report. Do not come up with new statements in your conclusion, but summarise all important findings from the preceding sections, both theoretical andfor this coursemainly experimental. When referring to other sources, do not include unnecessary ones. For example: when referring to definitions of expectation value, distribution functions, and other probabilistic quantities, refer to one good book. Do not refer to Wikipedia for one thing, and to a book for another thing, etc. Do not refer overly much to Wikipedia. Most content comes from other, more permanent sources; at the bottom of many Wikipedia pages is often a list of references. This goes in general as well; preferably cite articles or books instead of online material. Less is more. Do not include theory that you are never using in your experiments, unless you want to make a theoretical point of course. Some values for the parameters that have been suggested in the literature (for example see [21]) are given in table 3.1. The ParkMiller generator was proposed in the classic paper [18], it is intended as a minimal standard generator. The generator has full period, the generated random numbers are highly statistically independent and an implementation is possible on any machine (independent of architecture). For a correct implementation Schrages trick is needed, which will be discussed later
