Week 15/16 Term 4 2013

Learning Brief

MA2 Modelling, Matrices and Networks

Goals

Topic: Matrix Application and Networks Students should be able to: Analyse and solve problems using matrices to represent data Represent and analyse relationships between nodes of a network in a range of formats; apply network theory to practical situations Key focus: Directed graphs and networks

Reachability and dominance Critical path analysis

Theoretical Components
Pu rpl e e- bo o k: Ma th s Q ue st 1 2 : Fu rth e r Ma th e ma ti cs Ch apte r 1 5 Directed Graphs and Networks Read and take notes: Se ctio n 15 A Re achab il ity an d do min an ce A network is a graph or network where every edge has a direction. What is a one-stage pathway? Two-stage pathway? Read and copy examples 1 and 2 Finding M + M2 or M+M 2 +M3 etc determine the dominant vertex. Se ctio n 15 B &C Cri tical path an alysis If you have ever ba ke d a cake or planned a project you have probably used some aspects of critical path analysis: What are the necessary activities? What do you need to do first? What can you complete while you are waiting for other activities to be finished? What is the earliest completion time? Read and copy examples 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 Vi ew e xampl es 3 an d 8 :

Please see Toby if you have concerns.

Quiz Forum
Have you submitted a post for Week 9 and completed the Week 12,13and 14 Quiz?

No new quiz. Prepare an A4 summary sheet (2 sides allowed) for the test. Please hand it in with your test. This will count towards Week 16. See the cLc for Week 12, 13 and 14 Quizzes on Networks. Attempt these quizzes again as part of your revision for the test. No Forum this week or next.
