Discussion 1 Matrices for Computer Storage and Processing
Matrices
provide a simpler way to process multiple equations and variables. They
are the basis for many types of computer storage and processing.
Initial Post: Consider
the following situation and how it might be modelled with matrices. You
are the teacher of a class of five students. Throughout the class, you
give them four tests with a possible score of 100. Write a word problem
for a classmate to solve.
1)
Represent the above situation with a matrix (5 x 4) assigning names to
each of the five students and a grade (out of 100) to each of their
tests.
2) Discuss the matrix operations that can be used determine the class average for each of the four tests.
3) Solve for the average on each of the four tests using Matrix Operations.

Discussion 2 Applications of Algorithms and Transition Diagrams
Initial Post: Complete both parts of the Discussion.

Part 1: Algorithms
Write
an algorithm for an action that you perform each day something with
multiple steps and which requires you to make decisions. For example,
putting snow tires on your car or tidying up the house for a visit from
your mother-in-law. Your algorithm must have at least one conditional
operation, one iterative operation, and one sequential operation.

Part 2: Transition Diagrams
How
can transition diagrams help you to write or design a better program,
application, or system? Identify an example scenario in which a state
transition diagram might come in handy. Be sure to identify at least
three states and three transitions in your scenario and the
probabilities associated with each transition. You may use the software
of your choice for the drawing. A few online options are creatly.com or
cosketch.com. Also, Paint, Word, or PPT work and can be saved as an
image or file. Share the image as an attachment or as a link.
