Here are the slides and notes from Class 8: Slides [PPTX], Notes [PDF].

From the quizzes, it seems many people have not found the exercise solutions for the book. They are posted on the computingbook.org site. So far, the solutions are only available through Chapter 4 (PDF), but if there are requests or evidence that students are benefiting from these, I will try to make solutions for Chapter 5 and later chapters available soon. If you have a good idea for a solution to a problem that is not there yet, or an idea for improving one of the provided solutions, please do send that to me (or post it as a comment here).

As mentioned in class today, the results from Quiz 1 make me worry that many students in the class are not keeping up with the assigned readings. So, there may be an extra quiz sometime next week. If there is, it will cover the assigned readings up to Monday which is the course book through section 5.4, The Information chapters 1-3, and the Problem Set 1 comments.

There are free printed copies of the course text are available for students who are eager enough to find this webpage before the first class, and can stop by my office (Olsson 236A) tomorrow (Tuesday). I should be there from 9:30am-12:30pm, and from 2-4pm. (If I’m in a meeting, feel free to politely interrupt.) (Don’t worry if you miss this, there will be other opportunities to get a free book later.)
