CS504 Fundamentals of Research
Assignment #5
Due: Tuesday, February 20th.
1) Use Latex to create a document with the following features:
- Use an article template.
- Include a title (your choice) and your name.
- Include an abstract section.
- Include sections corresponding to each section in the generic paper outline from the course schedule.
- In each section include at least one sentence (the content doesn't matter).
- Include two references in the background section. The actual papers don't matter.
2) Write a Python function that accepts a two-dimensional array as
an argument and a number of columns N. The function calculates the difference
between the smallest and the largest value in first N elements of each row, and appends the difference on
to the end of the row.
3) Write a Python function that accepts a two-dimensional array as
an argument and a number of columns N. The function replaces any negative numbers
in the first N columns with a zero.
Turn in both the code and sample output showing that each of the
functions works. To do this you will need to create a two dimensional array,
apply each function to the array, printing the new array each time.
6) Read for Wednesday
Data Science: Challenges and Directions by Longbing Cao.
Turn in: a completed copy of this
review form for the
article.
