2017/09/10: Readings, Handouts, and Notes

We’ll continue the first stable marriage handout and (maybe!) start talking about the critical concept of reductions on our next worksheet.

Important notes for today:

  • Here’s the intro SMP handout we’re continuing work on.
  • Here’s our new handout on reductions and stable marriage.
  • Please be sure to review the syllabus.
  • The next pre-class quiz is due by 10PM on Sunday (2017/09/17).
  • Before Sunday’s pre-class quiz (pquiz): Read Chapter 2 of the textbook. Most of this should be review! Sections 2.3 and 2.4 are especially valuable for applied review of asymptotic analysis. This is what you should be good at to be awesome computer scientists. Work through the asymptotic analysis worked example. Here’s the blank worksheet and the screencast solution.
  • Come to tutorial for your tutorial quiz (tquiz). We’ll be particularly lenient in marking this tquiz since you’re just getting to know the format and we’re being pretty aggressive about what we’re assessing on it. In general, the tquizzes also aren’t worth much of your grade. (See the syllabus!) The point of these is to give you hands-on time working on exam-like questions in a timed context, followed by group time to reinforce and expand what you learned from your individual work.
  • The assignment version of the tutorial quiz questions will release shortly after Wednesday’s tutorial. Start looking those over and working on them! The assignment is due next Friday!
