CS540 Spring 2009 Assignments
Three or four homework assignments will be
assigned during the semester. The assignments will be
small programming projects with some writing and will dovetail with
the major topics covered.
The idea behind the assignments is to give you hands-on experience
with using the algorithms described in class. I always pick
challenging problems (sometimes literally challenge problems from
competitions) in which the "best" solution is not known and in which
you can exercise your creativity. The last 10% of the points for each
assignment are awarded based on the success of your solution relative
to the others in the class.
