Outline Text - This content comes from the last body paragraph of my essay. It's meant to give a general idea on what a mathematical presentation's purpose is and why such a purpose varies greatly from the written text and the discussion.
- Explain how a mathematical presentation is different from a discussion or a journal
- The audience is meant to be informed of some thing significant
- Something of a greater caliber is expected off of a presentation
- Usually someone very famous in the community is giving the presentation
Adaptation of Outline Item:
Furthermore, there is another type of “discussion” not described by Cherney or Laetsch, but is probably the most important in reference to influence or notoriety: the presentation. A couple large committees or associations often host presentations to honor the findings of one or possibly several mathematicians over a period of time, whether it be for remembrance after the mathematician has passed away, or to honor a significant finding that the professional has discovered in his field of research. Biggest of such conventions is the International Congress of Mathematics Convention, held annually in various large cities globally. At this convention, a group of mathematicians are honored for their research and hard work over the past year, and are giving a quick biography and presentation by a member of the official congress of the association that holds the convention. In the 2006 convention, more than 15 mathematicians were honored for their contributions to mathematics (Congress). Such presentations are given in a stadium to a large amount of attendees, surprising considering that the audience for this type of topic would be very niche and limited. Furthermore, presentations like these are meant to honor a few famous people in the field of mathematics, so since the purpose doesn’t have much association with the audience, it’s still surprising to see such a large turnout for events like these. Either way, these presentations physically show how effective mathematical rhetoric can be.

How did you decide to use form to present your content in the raw material you’ve shared here? How did the conventions of your chosen genre influence your choices?
For this section, I decided to make the paragraph as simple and plain as possible, since my only goal was to define and give an example on what a mathematical presentation was. Furthermore, the paragraph doesn't go any tangents; the entirety of the piece is focused on defining what a mathematical presentation is and how its purpose is met through its writing.
How did the production of this raw material go? What kinds of any hiccups, challenges, successes, creative epiphanies, etc. occurred during the process?
Since this is an essay, I didn't have much trouble with the production of this material. The source was relatively easy to find and I made sure that it held some sort of importance in this paragraph. I do feel as though this part may be a little bit lacking in depth and content, so I think I want to alter it so that it has more facts and less explaining. Other than that, I feel as though the paragraph is good.
