Due: Tuesday, January 30th.

1) Write Python code to create a 5x20 array (5 columns by 20 rows). The first four columns of each row should be filled with random numbers. You pick the range. The fifth/last column should be -1 if the value in the first column is less than the value in the second column and +1 otherwise.

Turn in both the code and sample output showing that program runs.

2) Find a thesis or a dissertation published by a UI student. Look at the formatting, length, read the abstract, etc.

Turn in a citation of the thesis or dissertation and answers to the following questions: What was the student's major? How many pages long was the thesis or dissertation? Does it have a table of contents? does it have a list of figures? Does it have an index? Does it have an appendix?

3) Find a research paper written by a UI CS faculty member (not me) that you might be interested in working with.

Turn in a citation of the paper.
