CS 466/666, Fall 2009

Announcements:

(October 28, 2009) I've been asked to post some information about what you should do in case you contract H1N1 flu.
(October 22, 2009) Here are some old midterms:
- by T. Chan. Ignore Q1(a-c), 2(a), 5.
- by I. Munro. Ignore Q1-3.
- A cs341 final by myself. This one is more for knowing my style of asking questions, but some of the questions fit cs466 as well.
Studying assignments from previous course offerings is also helpful. Note that you can get from each cs466 page to a previous offering via a link near the top.
(October 21, 2009) There will be an extra office hour on Monday, October 26, 10-11am.
(October 21, 2009) Our final exam will be on Wednesday, December 9, 2009 from 12:30-3pm in RCH 211.
(October 11, 2009) Assignment 1 solution-sketches (as well as various useful textbooks) are available from the library course reserves.
