Senior Project Idea(s)

To be perfectly honest I have no idea what I would really like to do for a senior project in math. I do know however, areas of subjects that interest me that I would like to explore or at least have an understanding of. There are two subjects that are really really interesting to me, they are particle and quantum physics. These two areas would be really neat to learn more about because they are part of cutting-edge research that is happening right now and pertains to our future. Particle physics would be the subject that I would want to delve into the most, for several reasons. The being that I do have a very shallow understanding of what it is and from that understanding find it very interesting. Also since I do have a base understanding of what it is I would like to have a basic understanding of some of the mathematical concepts that are applied with it. The end product if I was to do this would be a booklet, either online or in paper, that would describe the basics both in lay-mens terms but also the mathematical side too.
