In a minimum 5-pages, develop an introduction to your Chapter 2 where you clearly explain the overall research topic, literature gathering process, and the scope and organization of the literature review. The introduction should conclude with a paragraph that describes the sequence of the literature you will include and the literature analysis process. After the introduction, you should incorporate possible headings/subheadings that you plan to cover and include at least 20 scholarly references.

 Because students use email to communicate with other group members when they write collaboratively, your college or university would like to create a one-page handout on how to use email responsibly. Using a search engine, find three or four neliquette guides on the Internet that focus on email. Study these guides and write a one-page student guide to using email to communicate with other students. Somewhere in the guide, be sure to list the sites you studied, so that students can visit them for further information about neliquette.  

Problem Set #3

1. Software project decision point. 
   1. You need to determine an interest rate to use—select an interest rate and explain why you think this number should be used. Use it in your calculations in item 1.2.
   2. Given the information below on options 1 and 2, carry out three forms of analysis: breakeven, ROI, and NPV.
   3. Make a recommendation on which way to proceed, based on the TCO for each option.

• Option 1: Purchase the FunSoft package: Cost $200,000 for software and $85,000 for hardware in year one; with $50,000 to customize it and a $40,000 annual licensing fee for the life of the contract. There will be an annual saving of $61,000 due to the layoff of a clerk.
• Option 2: Purchase the SoftComm package, which will operate on the vendor’s hardware: Cost $250,000 for a five-year license, payable half up front and half during the first year of implementation. The maintenance contract, at $75,000 a year, includes all currently identified modifications to the software for the first three years. The clerk’s hours will be cut by half, for a saving of $25,000 a year.

In both cases, sales are expected to increase from the current $1 million a year, by 10% per year each year (over each year’s previous year’s sales) after full implementation.Assume a five-year life for the software.

 Porwerpoint : The steps recommended for efficiently developing an effective and consistent PowerPoint presentation include: 1.planning, 2.entering content, 3.editing, 4.formatting, 5.previewing, and 6.delivering (e.g. print, email, publish). Identify a key consideration one should make when planning a PowerPoint presentation? Describe the differences between building slide shows from blank presentations, themes, and templates. Discuss how PowerPoint presentations can be used both professionally and personally.

 Problem 1: Knapsack Variant  (Pseudocode)
                  Consider the following version of Knapsack. Given are two weight limits W1 and W2, where W1 ≤ W2. Given are also n items (w1, c1),(w2, c2), . . . ,(wn, cn), where wi is the weight and ci the cost of the i-th item. We want to find a subset of these items of the highest cost, where the subset weights at least W1 and at most W2. Give an O(nW2) algorithm for this problem. (Re Block Crusher (Kattis) call that the cost (respectively weight) of a subset is the sum of the costs (respectively weights) of the items in the subset.) 

 Problem 2: Minimum Spanning Tree with Repeated Costs (Proof)
                  Consider the Minimum Cost Spanning Tree problem on an undirected graph G = (V, E) with a cost ce ≥ 0 on each edge, where the costs may not all be different. If the costs are not all distinct, there can in general be many distinct minimum-cost solutions. Suppose we are given a spanning tree T ⊆ E with the guarantee that, for every e ∈ T, e belongs to some minimum-cost spanning tree in G. Can we conclude that T itself must be a minimum-cost spanning tree in G? Give a proof or counterexample with explanation. 

Problem 3: Block Crusher (Kattis)
                 Solve the “Block Crusher”, which you can find at this web address: https://open.kattis. com/problems/blockcrusher This is a coding problem; be sure to follow the relevant instructions for testing and submitting. 

Problem 4:  Continuous Median (Kattis)
                   Solve the “Continuous Median” problem, which you can find at this web address: https: //open.kattis.com/problems/continuousmedian This is a coding problem; be sure to follow the relevant instructions for testing and submitting. An O(n 2 ) algorithm will not be fast enough to pass all the tests, and will receive at most 3 points out of 10. You need to get the running time down to o(n 2 ), and ideally, O(n log n).
Hint 1: Suppose “median” in the problem statement were replaced by “min” (or “max”). How would you solve that problem? Suppose we added the additional condition that, after even-numbered inputs, you must return the min value, and thereafter treat it as having been deleted from the data set. How would you solve it now?
Hint 2: Notice that the median element is (ignoring rounding for now) the maximum element of the bottom half of the input, and the minimum element of the top half of the input. How can you make use of that fact?
Hint 3: Choosing the right data structure is essential.

This week was all about programming. We looked at several types of programming. Why Programing is Important | Mark | Jack | Bill Gates Tips About Programing, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1eRTERyMfI)  where major influencers of the digital world talk about learning to program. They also share their experiences of the importance of learning to program. Choose one of the people interviewed in the video that inspired you. Do some Internet research to learn some more about them and share it with the class.

Answer this question: Why is it important for you as a business professional in your chosen field to know how to program?

Assignment:
