- 2001/09/21: I was recently made aware that the current edition of
the textbook by Cormen, Leiserson and Rivest is a 2nd edition from 2001.
The good news is that the changes are minimal on the chapters we are using
for this course.
- Chapter numbers: the previous chapter numbers in my lecture plan were
outdated; references have been corrected in the new lecture
contents, but I also kept the correspondence to the old edition.
- The new edition contains an interesting section on
an approximation algorithm for the weighted vertex-cover using linear programming.
I will cover this one instead of the previously planned approximation
algorithm for the subset-sum. Changes are reflected
on the lecture contents and
on the updated course outline.
- Background sections: you can also find on the new lecture contents page,
references to sections that covers background material you may wish to
review.
- A warning for the owners of 1st edition (1990):
you should photocopy 3 sections from the new book: 2 sections that use
completely different proofs and a the section adopted from the new book.
These sections in which discrepancies occur are noted in lecture contents page.
- 2001/09/13: I have added an extra office hour on Thursdays
from 3:30-4:30, since some students were not available on the other
scheduled times. This information has been updated on the course outline
page.
- 2001/09/06: I forgot to give you the printed copy of the course
outline (the same available in the main page). You may get it from my office
door now or at the next class on Monday.
- 2001/09/05: To students that MIGHT be interested in pursuing
graduate studies: go to an information session on Monday September 10 on
how to apply for scholarships and apply for an NSERC scholarship this Fall!!!
