Date: Friday, April 5, 2019
Agenda
- Announcements
- Academic Showcase Project: [HTML] [PDF]
- next deadline is a progress report due Monday
- Lab 9: More Dynamic Programming (and Some Heaps) due in your labs next week
- in class Monday: brief quiz on asymptotic analysis review
(think: ranking efficiencies, underlying meanings of our "order"
notation, remembering efficiencies for sorting algorithms we have
studied)
- Exam 2 will come back next week
- Problem Set 6: [PDF] out (last one)
- Dijkstra's algorithm
- The n-Queens problem
- Backtracking
