Discuss    the    importance    of    combinatorial    reasoning    in    gene    sequencing    and    related    problems    involving     genomes. Each    writing    assignment    is    worth     20    points should    include    the    following    sections : Background    (3    points):     This    is    a    discussion    of    how    the non -­? mathematical    and    mathematical    portions    of    your    topic    fit     together.     You migh t    include    a    historical    background    of    the    topic,    definitions    of    terms ,    the     discrete    mathematics ideas     that    are    addressed (e.g.     induction,    logical    fallacy,    etc. ),    and    some    explan ation    about    why    these    ideas    were    useful. Examples    (10    points):     In    most    of    your    writing    assignments    you    are    asked    to    discuss    and    describe    an    aspect    of    discrete     mathematics.    Give    two    of    three    examples    or    techniques    of    the    topic    under    discussion.    Give    general information    and    also     specific    examples    of    the    topic. Bibliography (2    points):     List    the    references    you    used    to    complete    this    rep ort.    J ust    list    title    and    author    for    any    books     and     articles     you    used.    You    should    also    include    a    list    of    people    that    you    consulted or    any    other    form    of    help    that    you    received.     For    example,    you    might    obtain    some    of    your    information    from    the    internet;    in    this    case,    you    could    include    the     website. You'll    need    at    least    one    book or    article as    a    reference,    preferably    two ,    and    a    total    of    at     least    two    references. You'll    notice    that    there    are    still    5    points    unaccounted    for.    The    remaining    5    points    are    for    style:    clarity,    neatness,    flow,     design,    organization    and    creativity -­?-­? it's    important    to    be    able    to    communicate    your    ideas.
