\section*{Declaration of AI Usage}

You may like to base your declaration on the bullet points below, which are reproduced from the example provided in the policy for students on the use of generative AI in summatively assessed work, available from \href{https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/members/students/departmental-and-university-regulations}{https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/members/ students/departmental-and-university-regulations}. If you use AI tools in other ways, you should add extra bullet points to the list.\vspace{5mm}

In creating this work, I have used AI tools for the following tasks:
\begin{itemize}
\item Literature search and ideation:
\item Spelling and grammar:
\item Improvements to writing:
\item Coding:
\item Plotting, formatting etc:
\end{itemize}

\section{Title of Appendix}

Appendices are definitely not necessary and assessors are not obliged to read them so only use them for non-vital text, figures or calculations.
