A Visual Conclusion

The time has come to start considering how to structure my presentation. While it is necessary to show my data that I have collected and show my statistical analysis, I need to keep it interesting. I plan to show, as well as prove, the complicated differences in Java and C++. It may be easier for me to stand up in front of a powerpoint full of numbers, and explain how I derived my conclusions, but I want to allow my audience to make those conclusions as well. It is for this reason that I have been working on a couple programs, one in Java and one in C++. These programs, called Physics Engines are designed to replicate the behavior of real objects (in my case, in two dimensions). Having the ability to visual demonstrate the differences in Java vs. C++, I think, is going to make my presentation that much more compelling. As Mr. Mac said to our Physics class, "You want to make your audience feel smart at the end of your presentation." I think that this is the best way to do that. To allow my audience to see for themselves the numbers and data that I can rattle off like an auctioneer, will make the biggest impact to my audience.
