Suppose we have the following record of packet transmission times between a sender (S) and recipient (R) for a given day: 9:00 a. m. S to R 10 seconds, R to S 10 seconds
9:01 a. m. S to R 11 seconds, R to S 9 seconds
9:02 a. m. S to R 8 seconds, R to S 14 seconds
9:03 a. m. S to R 12 seconds, R to S 6 seconds
10:00 a. m. S to R 20 seconds, R to S 20 seconds
10:01 a. m. S to R 22 seconds, R to S 18 seconds
10:02 a. m. S to R 16 seconds, R to S 28 seconds
10:03 a. m. S to R 24 seconds, R to S 12 seconds

At 10:04:00 we send a packet. Assuming adaptive retransmission, what is the most appropriate amount of time to wait without receiving an acknowledgement from the would-be recipient, before resending the packet?

In a heat transfer course, we can derive the equation for the temperature distribution in a flat rectangular plate. in this example, we will look at a plate at steadystate with three sides being held at t1, and one side held at t2. the temperature for any location on the plate, t(x,y), can be calculated by where create a function (prob3_5) that will take inputs of vectors x and y in feet, scalar n, scalars l and w in feet and scalars t1 and t2 in degrees fahrenheit. it will output a matrix t which is the temperature of each x and y locations. t will have the number of columns equal to the number of elements in x and rows equal to the number of elements in y. though this can be done without loops (perhaps more efficiently), your program must use a nested loop.
