Here is a sample solution to the SMP intro worksheet.
Use it to review what you’ve worked through, sparingly to get yourself unstuck when you’re entirely stuck on a problem, and to catch up to where we are in class.
But… don’t just look at the solution before you try the problems and assume you’re good! You’ll learn best by working problems, not by confirming that someone else can do it 
NOTE: We’re still figuring out whether we’ll separately post handouts and notes for each section or use one combined post. For now, here are handouts and notes similar to those all three sections will use tomorrow. (If we split up by section, we’ll use categories so you can just click on your section’s category to get your section’s handouts/notes.)
Welcome to CPSC 320!
Our overall course goal is to learn about a common and important set of problem types, algorithmic solution approaches, and analysis techniques, and to gain the tools and experience necessary to judge how a new problem might fit one of these categories, how to approach solving the problem, and how to analyze and adjust your solution.
A few administrative notes for today, much longer than our usual since it’s the start of the term:
Next, here are today’s handouts:
Finally, if you wish to read ahead, we expect to read at least these sections in this order (changes may happen but probably not drastic ones):
