12/08The solutions for HW5 and guidelines for the final project have been posted to the handouts page.
11/29IMPORTANT: We have changed the grading of HW5 in order to lighten the work-load while you are working on your final projects. You now only need to do one of the two problems on the HW. (Students who do both problems will receive a bonus 40% of the points on the lower scored problem).
11/29HW5 has been updated to include the last problem. I will also hold additional office hours on Tuesday from 2:00-3:00.
11/27The first problem of HW5 is available on the handouts page. The second problem will be available soon.
11/07Homework 3 has been graded and will be returned in class on Wednesday. We have posted Nick Armstrong's coding solutions for problem 3.
11/15Midterm solutions have been posted on the handouts page. As mentioned in class the mean was about 79 with std. dev. of 9.
11/07Homework 3 has been graded and will be returned in class on Wednesday. We have posted Nick Armstrong's coding solutions for problem 3.
11/06Midterm Review Sessions will be held on Nov 8th and 9th in Wean Hall 4625 from 6:00pm to 7:30pm.
10/26For those interested I have included a link to the homepage of yesterday's guest lecturer Chris Atkeson.
10/26HW2 is graded and can be picked up from Monica Hopes. HW2 solutions have been updated along with representative solutions for coding problems from Michael Dille (problem 1 and 3), and Rosen Diankov (problem 2). Please remember that the average grade on HW2 was somewhat lower than HW1 (around 81-82) so don't be concerned about grades around that range.
10/20HW1 is graded and can be picked up from Monica Hopes. HW1 solutions have been updated along with representative solutions for coding problems from Geoff Hollinger (problem 1), Rosen Diankov (problem 2), Juan Fasola (problem 3a), and Myung Hwangbo (problem 3b).
10/19HW2 Solutions are available on the handouts page, representative solutions for the coding problems have not been chosen yet.
10/10 The input format for the RSat solver was given incorrectly on the homework. The correct format is described on this site for the 2004 SAT Solver competition.
10/11HW1 Solutions are available on the handouts page, representative solutions for the coding problems have not been chosen yet.
10/10 The input format for the RSat solver was given incorrectly on the homework. The correct format is described on this site for the 2004 SAT Solver competition.
10/05 There have been a few minor updates to HW2 and the Max Flow instances on the handouts page, please re-download these if you have older versions.
10/03 We have granted a 2-day extension on HW1 due to problems some students were having with Matlab, it is now due on Friday Oct. 6 by 10:30am. However students that handed in their homework on time today are entitled to an extension of 2 days on either HW2 or HW3.
9/28A small clarification for problem 3b.) on Problem Set 1 was added to the plain text update.
9/27Some students have inquired as to the whereabouts of the lecture slides from 9/25. Unfortunately, due to a hardware failure Geoff was unable to recover the electronic version of the slides, but will try to provide a summary shortly.
9/25A second update for Problem Set 1 was posted to the course mailing list earlier today (if you did not receive this message please email the TAs), you can download this update in plain text format here.
9/21Problem Set 1 has been slightly updated, a new version with minor edits has been posted.
9/19Matlab links from the tutorial are now available on the Links page.
9/18Problem Set 1 is now available on the Handouts and Schedule pages.
9/13A Matlab tutorial (led by Yang Gu) will be held on Monday Sept. 18 from 4:30 to 5:30 in Wean Hall 5409.
9/11Lecture notes will be available on or before the date of each lecture on the schedule page.
8/25First class is on 9/11 at 10:30 AM in Wean Hall 5409
