H211: Introduction to Computer Science (Honors)

Announcements

There will be no lab on Thu Oct 5 (the day of the midterm.)
Reminder about the first midterm: BH103, Thursday Oct 5. The official time is 7:30-9:00 PM, but this is apparently a mistake. We would like to give you two full hours 7:00-9:00 PM. (If you can't make it at 7:00, you can take the exam from 7:30-9:30 PM.)
I will be out of town on Wed Oct 4. Craig Citro will conduct a review session for the midterm during lecture that day. Please come prepared with lots of questions. You can also attend the review sessions conducted for C211 (announced on the C211 home page).
My office hours next week (Oct 4 and Oct 6) will be cancelled.

Just a reminder ... Craig's office hours change to 9:30-10:30 on Fridays starting next week.

For those of you that didn't see the newsgroup post ... the CS machines were down half the day yesterday, so the deadline for Assignment 3 was extended to Monday, September 18, 2000 at noon. Further assignments still have the normal due date/time.

The last problem of homework 3 has been cancelled.
The first midterm will be in BH103.
Amr Sabry's office hours have permanently moved from Friday 9:00-10:00 to Friday 11:00-12:00

I have added a link to the code for fib. You will find both the slow version and the fast version. On my machine (a Sparc 10) the slow version took 100 seconds on (fib 40). The fast version immediately calculates (fastfib 1000) as the number:

I will be out of town during the following days: Mon Sep 18, Wed Sep 20, and Wed Oct 4. Prof. George Springer will present the two lectures. My office hours during these days will be cancelled.
