Student will be exploring one Mathematical Topic and its uses in Information Technology. Students are to write a report
on their findings.
Task details:
In the initial part of the assignment, the group of students’ will be tested on their skills on writing literature
review of a topic you have learnt in the Discrete Mathematics (ICT101) course in the week 1 to 6. Students
need to read at least 3 articles or books on this topic especially with application to Information Technology
and give a detailed review of those. Students will also identify one application of information Technology
related to the topic in which they are interested and write a complete account of that interest.
Student groups will be exploring and analysing the applications which are identified by each group
member, and they must recognise an application that can be programmed into a computer. Each group
must sketch a plan to draw a flow-chart and algorithm. Use some inputs to test the algorithm (give a
different trace table for each input) and identify any problem in the algorithm. Suggest a plan to rectify or
explain why it can be rectified. Each group must write one report on its findings.
Student can choose group member by his/her own but should be with his/her tutorial group.
The written report must have the following sections:
1. Introduction
2. Proper reference of at least three articles or books
3. Write detail review of those articles or books related to the topic student chooses
4. Identify one application in Information Technology in which a student is interested. Write a
complete account of that interest
5. Description of why students choose this application
6. Give a complete plan to implement the application into a computer program with use of flow-chart
7. Write an appropriate algorithm
8. Use at least two inputs to test the algorithm. Group needs to give a trace table for each input.
9. Conclusion
10. Short statement about contributions/Reflections from each group member
