This page: Conveying Complexity Highlights contains links to some of the most interesting, illuminating, and/or entertaining submissions for PS7.

The final exam is Thursday, May 13, 9am-noon (as scheduled by the registrar). It covers the whole course:
It will be similar to Exams 1 and 2 except that no resources may be used (no notes at all!). I will be out of town Thursday [More...] Please submit your PS7 by posting a comment to this post. Some reminders from the PS7 handout are below, see that handout for full details. If you work in a team, your team should jointly post a single submission with all of your names on it. Your post should include: I have uploaded your scores on assignments into Collab so you can now verify that I have all your scores recorded correctly. If you notice any discrepancies, please let me know.
The next reading assignment is Sipser, Chapter 7. (We are skipping Chapter 6.) Problem Set 6, originally scheduled to be due on April 20th on the syllabus, will now be due on April 27 (and will be posted soon). Sorry, I will not be able to hold my usual Thursday morning this week. Instead, I will have office hours Thursday 11am-1pm. Kate McDowell is looking for students to join the Technology Committee of the Student Council, which she is chairing next year. They are looking for students with a passion for technology, and all majors and experience levels are welcome. Projects will include:
To apply, visit http://www.uvastudentcouncil.com. Contact Kate McDowell (kam6zx) for details. Exam 2 will be handed out Thursday, April 8 and due Tuesday, April 13. It will cover everything through today’s class (Barbara Liskov’s lecture), but emphasize things that have been covered since Exam 1: class 10-18, Problem sets 4 and 5. If you have any topics you would like me to review in class Tuesday, or questions you want me to go over, please post them here. As a separate game theory challenge, if exactly ONE student in [More...] Remember that Thursday’s class will be Barbara Liskov’s talk in Chemistry Auditorium. This is at the same time (2:00pm) as our class normally meets. Everyone should find Prof. Liskov’s talk interesting and exciting. You can read more about the talk and her background here: www.liskovatuva.com. Next week there will be two Turing award winners visiting UVa and giving public talks. Monday, 29 March, MEC 205 (CHANGE IN VENUE), 3:30pm
Edmund Clarke, Carnegie Mellon University Thursday, 1 April, Chemistry Auditorium, 2:00pm
Barbara Liskov, MIT Note that Thursday’s talk is during our scheduled class time. Students should attend Prof. Liskov’s talk (and expect to have questions on the exam based on her talk). From now on, my Thursday morning office hours will be from 8:45am-10am (not as previously scheduled from 8:30am-9:30am). There will be no regularly scheduled office hours this week, but I am available for appointments, just send email to arrange a meeting. Enjoy your Spring Break! If you do want to get ahead on the course over spring break, the next reading assignment is Chapter 3 in the Sipser book. This is what Problem Set 4 will cover, and it is due on Tuesday, March 23. I won’t be able to hold office hours this Thursday morning. I will have my usual office hours after class Thursday. Since several people have complained that they are not able to make any of the regularly scheduled office hours, I will start holding regular office hours Thursday mornings, 8:30-9:30am. They will start this week, and continue throughout the semester, so long as they appear to be useful. I will hold extra office hours this Monday (Feb 22), noon-1pm (as well as my usual office hours 1-3pm). Sonali will hold a review session for Exam 1 on Sunday, February 28, 5-6:30pm in Olsson 228E. Here are results from the Quick Surveys submitted so far (I will leave the survey open, so you can submit at any time). 24 surveys were submitted.
Please give me some quick feedback on how the course is going so far by submitting this survey. (The survey is anonymous, you don’t need to be logged in to submit it.) Sonali has offered to hold office hours Friday mornings starting this Friday. They will be Fridays, 10-11:30am in Thorton Stacks. This is in addition to my regularly scheduled Monday (1:15-3pm) and Thursday (after class-4:30pm) office hours. Here are my responses to the questions you asked in your submitted registration surveys. (If you think of more questions later, feel free to add them as comments to this post.) I’m really interested in security although I have very little knowledge of it. Are there any opportunities for me to learn more?
Please register for the course blog (you can use a pseudonym if you want), and complete the course registration survey (you must be logged into the blog to do the survey, so register and login first). The survey should be submitted no later than Sunday, January 24. Welcome to cs3102: Theory of Computation (the course previously known as “cs302: Discrete Mathematics”). Classes start next week. cs3102 meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2-3:15pm in Olsson 120. The textbook for this course is:
