Like the previous day, the class started at nine in the morning. The morning session started with a quick revision of the previous day's topics. Then, we discussed about optimizing programs. We proceeded on to start with Discrete Mathematics.
Topics like Graph Theory were discussed. We were also informed about the applications of Discrete Mathematics in real world situations. We analysed the application of Discrete Maths in the functioning of sensors used to control the working of a water pump to fill a water tank. We also discussed the problem of the Towers of Hanoi in which a set of disks from a source tower were to be shifted, one at a time, to a target tower with the help of an auxiliary tower.
The Travelling Salesman Problem and the Konigsberg's Bridge problem were the other questions which we discussed. We also talked about the colouring of graphs. We then discussed about fractals, ie. forming complex shapes by repetition of a basic shape. After that, we had the lunch break.
During the afternoon session, we continued with Discrete Maths and then had a small test on it. After the test, we had a video session during which we were shown a video clipping telecasted by the Discovery Channel about the human body. The video clip which was for about 45 minutes, showed the amazing way in which different parts of the body works.
That was the of Day Two's classes and then we had the time for blogging.
