- For Wednesday’s class, no new reading. Instead, review for the exam! However, if you want to get ahead, please read section 6.1 on the unbelievably awesome idea of memoization. (Trade polynomial memory for exponential speedup!)

Combinatorics Overview: Let Us Count the Ways
I’ve written an overview of how some tools in combinatorics work, such as permutations, combinations and binomial coefficients. Reading the document may be useful if you’ve had trouble in previous classes counting the size of a possible solution space, when given asked to use a brute force approach.
