  1. Modeling Life on Titan Peter Haw Han Beng 4S1(22) H’ng Eng Keat 4S1(05) Heather Quante (AOS)

  2. Introduction • Titan • Largest natural satellite of Saturn • The search for extraterrestrial life • Among top candidates for extraterrestrial life • Presence of important life-giving substances

  3. Rationale • Difficulty in equipping probes with right instruments • Diverse range of life • Delimitation of this range • Allow discovery of extraterrestrial life to progress more efficiently

  4. Objectives

  5. Research Questions

  6. Literature Review • Mathematical modeling • Produces applicable results for problems in applied fields • E.g. Heat propagation & planetary orbits • Microsoft Excel • Familiar tool to most working people • Ease of adaptation to using Microsoft Excel

  7. Methodology

  8. Fields of Mathematics • Statistical analysis
