| From Classbrain.com's Mathematics Self-Replicating Viruses & Tessellations
How do self-replicating viruses spread themselves? What are the most famous computer viruses? What is the difference between a virus, a trojan, and a worm?
Project 1: Create a drawing that represents a self-replicating virus. Since a self-replicating virus duplicates itself, tessellations make a good visual representation. Project 2: Write a paper on one specific type of computer virus. Cover the history of the virus type, current solutions, and future concerns. Project 3: Write a story about Agent Smith and his ability to replicate within the system. What will he do inside the Matrix?
