SYLLABUS

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

• 05/02/12: There is a mistake occured for HW#4 Grades. Here are the updated GRADES up to final.
• If your grade decreases 3 to 2.5, this means you had 15 for the first questions where it is supposed to be 16. So correct max flow for the first question is 16 with the cut: {s134567/28t}.:
• More detailly:
  f(s15t) = 4
  f(s16t) = 3
  f(s25t) = 1
  f(s35t) = 1
  f(s37t) = 4
  f(s46t) = 2
  and !
  f(s473528t) = 1
  The critical cut is  s134567 - 28t; 
  its capacity is  16 :
  c(12) = 1, c(6t) = 5, c(5t) = 6, c(7,t) = 4.
  Now, by the Ford-Fulkerson theorem we conclude that f=16.
  
• 04/30/12: Please find all the grades upto final here. Hw grading scale is 0-3,
  
• 3 is equivalent to 70-100
• 2 is equivalent to 40-70
• 1 is equivalent to 20-50
• 0 is equivalent to 0-20
• If you would like to discuss your grades, please come to TA's office hours.
