Available arithmetic subsystems are studied. Research activities leading to a thesis, problem report, research paper, or equivalent scholarly project. Switching circuit theory is used to model the operations of networks of logic gates and flip-flops. Networks of this type are one form of discrete parameter systems. Studies the use of linear sequential machine as a means of modeling the general class of discrete parameter information systems.
Systems approach and the techniques of abstract algebra used throughout.
They will design and test a project oriented toward one specific objective. Teaching Practicum Syllabus Current Class 1-3 hr. Study may be independent or through specially scheduled lectures. Independent Study Syllabus Current Class 1-6 hr. Each student will give an oral presentation describing the student's research before the student's final examination.
