The reading this week is 6.5, 6.6, 6.8 and 8.1 in the Kleinberg and Tardos textbook.
(We’re finishing up Dynamic Programming and diving into NP-completeness in the readings. The readings are a bit behind class at this point. So, you may want to do 8.1 first to get in sync with class and then jump back to Chapter 6 to strengthen your understanding of dynamic programming.)
