 PREFACE

The practical approach of understanding mathematics can be easily grasped through regular
exercise. Learning mathematics through daily practice is one of the best suggested techniques in
enhancing problem-solving strategies and skills.
This practice set is specifically designed to supplement students’ learning during classroom
discussions and apply mathematics in the modern world context. The contents of this practice set
are aligned with the textbook used in the lecture for learners’ easy referencing and smooth journey
in studying mathematics.
Bertrand Russell once said, “Mathematics, when rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but
supreme beauty”. At the end of the term, students will be able to appreciate the true beauty and
science of mathematics; not just a course, but a way of life.

The Blind Men and the Elephant is a famous Indian fable that tells the story of six blind
sojourners that come across different parts of an elephant in their life journeys. In turn, each
blind man creates his own version of reality from that limited experience and perspective.
How you relate this story in the study of mathematics?

Fibonacci numbers occur in the sequence

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, . . .
This sequence begins with the numbers 1 and 1 again, and each next number is obtained by adding the two
preceding numbers together.

Suppose a newly-born pair of rabbits, one male and one female, are put in a field. Rabbits are able to
mate at the age of one month so that at the end of its second month a female can produce another pair of
rabbits. Suppose that our rabbits never die and that the female always produces one new pair (one male,
one female) every month from the second month on. How many pairs will there be in one year?

5.
Henry Dudeny, an English puzzle book author in the early 1900s, came up with the following simplified
version of Fibonacci’s logic:
If a cow produces its first female calf at age two years and produces another female calf every year
after that, how many female calves are there after five years if we start with one newborn female calf
and no calves die?

There are two types of female honeybees: workers, which produce no eggs, and the queen, which
produces eggs. Drone bees are males that are produced from the queen’s unfertilized eggs. A drone’s
mother is the queen that laid the egg. But a drone has no father, because the egg was never fertilized.
Worker females and queen females are produced from the queen’s fertilized eggs. So each type of
female has a father as well as a mother, because the female eggs were fertilized.
Describe how the numbers of ancestors of a drone honeybee are Fibonacci numbers.

14. The term phyllotaxis means "leaf arrangement" in Greek and was coined in 1754 by Charles Bonnet, a
Swiss naturalist. In the 1830s, a pair of scientist brothers found that each new leaf on a plant stem is
positioned at a certain angle to the previous one and that this angle is constant between leaves. That is,
if you look down from above on the plant and measure the angle formed between a line drawn from the
stem to the leaf and a corresponding line for the next leaf, you will find that there is generally a fixed
angle, called the divergence angle. What is the measurement of this angle?

Introduction to Voting
One of the most revered privileges that those of us who live in a democracy enjoy is the right to vote for
our representatives. Sometimes, however, we are puzzled by the fact that the best candidate did not get
elected. Unfortunately, because of the way our plurality voting system works, it is possible to elect someone
or pass a resolution that has less than majority support.

B. Solve the following problems using plurality voting, plurality with elimination, Borda count and the
pairwise comparison voting. Compare the results of the different methods.

Weighted Voting System

A weighted voting is an electoral system in which the voters do not have the same amount of
influence over the result of an election. Each voting system can be described using the form
{q: w1, w2, w3, w4,…,wn}
where q is the quota, w are the weights and n is the number of voters. The weights are listed in
numerical order, starting with the highest weight.

C. Answer the following problems involving the weighted voting system.

1. A weighted voting system is given by {7: 5, 3, 1, 1}.

What is the quota?

How many voters are in this system?
What is the weight of voter B?
What is the weight of the coalition {A, C}?
Is {A, D} a winning coalition?
Which voters are critical voters in the coalition {A, C, D}?
How many coalitions can be formed?
How many coalitions consist of exactly two voters?

2. A weighted voting system is given by {21: 15, 14, 5, 3, 1}.

Error Detection and Error Correction

Coding theory - is mainly concerned with explicit methods for efficient and reliable data transmission or
storage. One of its tasks is to detect or correct errors.
Code word is an element of a standardized code or protocol. Each code word is assembled in accordance
with the specific rules of the code and assigned a unique meaning.
Approaches of reliable codes:
Parity Check is the simplest form of error detection in which a single bit is appended to a bit string. A bit
string has odd parity if the number of 1s in the string is odd. A bit string has even parity if the number of 1s
in the string is even.
Repetition is the simplest possible error-correcting code where each bit is repeated a certain number of
times before sending. The original message can be recovered from any received message by a process called
majority detection.
The Hamming distance d(x, y) between the bit strings x and y is the number of positions in which these
strings differ.

E.

a. 011010 f. 000000
b. 101011 g. 1010111
c. 1001 h. 1010101
d. 11111111 i. 00110011
e. 0001000 j. 10011

2. Using odd parity, add parity bit to the following bit patterns.

a. 011010 f. 000000
b. 101011 g. 1010111
c. 1001 h. 1010101
d. 11111111 i. 00110011
e. 0001000 j. 10011

3. Will the following bit strings be received correctly if the last bit is a parity bit? Why? Use
even parity.

a. 1000011
b. 111111000
c. 10101010101

a. 010000
b. 110000
c. 010011
d. 110001
e. 001100

5. Suppose that a parity check bit is added to a bit string before it is transmitted. Using even parity,
what can you conclude if you receive the bit strings 1110011 and 10111101 as messages?

6. Encode the bit string 011001 by repeating each bit twice.

7. Suppose the encoded message 000001111000010111000 was received. What was the original

9. The notation (n, M, d) is used to represent a code with code length n, a total of M codewords,
and minimum distance d. One of the major goals of coding theory is to develop codes that
strike a balance between having a small n (for fast transmission of messages), a large M (to
enable transmission of a wide variety of messages), and a large d (to detect many errors).
Describe each of the following using (n, M, d) notation:

a. C1 = {0000, 1100, 0011, 1111}

b. C2 = {00, 01, 10, 11}
