Homework due dates discrepancies corrected, Homework #1 is due Monday, January 27, 2003. -- January 22, 2003
I believe there is a mistake in how question C-1.5 for homework # 1 is worded. You may interpret the question as asking you to "Show, by induction , that T(n) >= 2^(n+1) - 1." The difference is this asks you to show a "greater than or equal" to relationship rather than an strickly "equal" relationship. -- January 23, 2003
