First test results

Date: Friday

I'm always pessimistic about tests, but always ended up getting higher then hoped for. This is a good thing to lower your expectation in U of T slightly as you feel better when you are not looking too high up at what you are expecting, but still I need to improve as I think the TAs really gave us easy marks on this test.

As well, we handed the third problem set in. I'm a bit worried about what I conjectured because there has been a little bit of confusion with the term "closed formula", I ended up deriving a sum notation which on the discussion board is obviously incorrect, I really hope I didn't mess up on that.

Anyhow, we officially moved away from induction to time complexity proofs, which, I hope, is less abstract than the multiple flavours of induction.

...Kind of forgetting what I learned on Friday, because I'm spending time right now doing rough works for the second assignment, I have to say those questions are really interesting, especially the ternary trees one.

  1. I'm glad the test turned out better than you thought it would. And I owe everybody a hint on ternary trees.
