Lecture 1.
We started with a review of
administrative details. We agreed that there would be no tutorials in week 1. I
also suggested that we scrap the early morning tutorials, and move people into
one of the afternoon sessions instead. There seems to be no objection with
cancelling the Monday morning slot. However, the Thursday morning slot may
remain because of scheduling conflicts. I plan to poll students on this at the
next lecture on
Wednesday.
Academic matters
began with a simple sample problem involving laser lights and pillars. We came
up with an O(n2) algorithm. On Tuesday we will take a closer look at
Big-O notation. We will also revisit the pillar problem and see a more efficient
solution.
