Midterm Clarification

Your FSM for problem 1 must be deterministic.

We expect your algorithm in 3b to be deterministic.

In problem 5, we mean to say that a given c_i cannot be fully contained in any of {A, B}. Also, no citizen is allowed to play for both A and B.

Welcome to CS051!

Join us as we dive down the rabbit hole into the magical world of computer science theory! This class, which is required for the Computer Science concentration, will teach you about important concepts such as Turing machines, languages, reductions, and NP-completeness. You'll also learn to play croquet with flamingoes, have a mad tea party, grow and shrink by eating magical substances, and avoid getting beheaded by the Queen of Hearts.

Lectures with Professor Savage (the Mad Hatter) are Tuesday and Thursday from 1-2:30pm in CIT 368. There is also a required lab section, with three choices of meeting times; details are on the Labs page. Attendance at mad tea parties is optional.
