Editing Final Report/Thesis 2015 (section)

==Abstract==
The project involves the mysterious case of a dead man found at Somerton Beach, South Australia. There was no evidence to show the man’s identification or cause of death, however, there were 5 lines of letters that were found on a scrap of paper in the dead man’s trouser pocket. It was later discovered that the scrap of paper was torn from a book known as ''The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam''.  These letters are considered vital to the case as it is speculated that they may be a code or cipher of some sort. The case still remains unsolved today, and so this project has been undertaken in order to uncover further case evidence.
The aims and objectives of the project include using various computational techniques to statistically analyse the likely language of origin of the code, designing and implementing software in order to decipher the code, and ultimately attempting to solve the cold case.
