POProject ideas for discrete mathematics course using MATLAB?

copied!<p>A professor asked me to help making a specification for a college project. By the time the students should know the basics of programming.</p> <p>The professor is a mathematician and has little experience in other programming languages, so it should really be in MATLAB.</p> <p>I would like some projects ideas. The project should</p> <ol> <li>last about 1 to 2 months <ul> <li>be done individually</li> <li>have web interface would be great</li> <li>doesn't necessary have to go deep in maths, but some would be great</li> <li>use a database (or store data in files)</li> </ul></li> </ol> <p>What kind of project would make the students excited? </p> <p>If you have any other tips I'll appreciate.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> The students are sophomores and have already studied vector calculus. This project is for an one year Discrete Mathematics course.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE 2:</strong> The topics covered in the course are</p> <ol> <li>Formal Logic</li> <li>Proofs, Recursion, and Analysis of Algorithms</li> <li>Sets and Combinatorics</li> <li>Relations, Functions, and Matrices</li> <li>Graphs and Trees</li> <li>Graph Algorithms</li> <li>Boolean Algebra and Computer Logic</li> <li>Modeling Arithmetic, Computation, and Languages</li> </ol> <p>And it'll be based on this book <a href="http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/071676864X" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Mathematical Structures for Computer Science: A Modern Approach to Discrete Mathematics by Judith L.
