Power iteration and PageRank
In 1998 two Stanford students ranked the whole web by finding one eigenvector of an enormous matrix, and the company they started became Google. You'll run their method by hand on a tiny web, change the links to see who wins, and code the algorithm that finds an eigenvector by doing nothing more than multiplying again and again.
