no office hour today

I am traveling to a conference today so I must cancel my office hour.

LaTeX Tutorial (update)

The LaTeX tutorial will be held tonight from 5:30-6:30 in Doherty Hall room 1112.

Videos now online

The lecture videos are now available via the Lectures link on the portal page. Everyone currently registered and able to authenticate via andrew.ad.cmu.edu should be able to click through. The value of the videos: (1) Search, based on slide content, so you can rapidly find that explanation of the Master Theorem or other bit of content, and (2) Note-taking, both private and public (be civil), that also supports search. The videos are not intended (or particularly useful) as a substitute for appearing at the lecture. Please send us comments and suggestions.

Update to HW1 Theory

The theory assignment was just updated to fix some inconsistencies in question 3. The source and PDF have been updated in the "lectures" section of the portal.

LaTeX Tutorial

Due to popular demand, the TAs will be running a short tutorial on using LaTeX. It will be on Tuesday evening from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. We're still working on getting a room, so we'll make an announcement about that when we know.

Recitations

Please attend the recitation that you are signed up for in FrontDesk. Do *not* go to another recitation. Your TA's have been instructed to not grade quizzes and theory questions handed in at the wrong section. We are sorry to have to be so strict, but we are already over the official enrollment limit. It is not fair to students who are officially enrolled to have to sit on the floor, nor is it fair to your TAs.

exprtree released

HW1 (expression trees) has been released on Front Desk! Note that the theory is available through the lectures portion of the site. The theory is due next Wednesday (Sep. 8) at the beginning of recitation, and the programming component is due the following Tuesday (Sep. 14). Please post any questions on the discussion board and feel free to come to office hours to get help. Good luck!
