The first problem set was due today and I found it to be on the easy side. The first homework is already out and I started working on it. It's definitely harder than the problem set but at the same time way more interesting. I really like the second and (especially) the third problem.
In the lecture today we talked about complete induction. I understand that for certain problems it makes more sense to use complete induction but I don't like it as much I like the PSI. I find simple induction more logical. I am sure most of the people will disagree with me.
I was having a hard time following the example with the trees. I consider myself green but for some reason I always have a hard time with trees. I really need to sit down and get more familiar with trees because I am sure I will see them again soon...

The course notes present trees in two independent ways. They are definitely objects worth being familiar with in CS.
Yeap, since I am planning to enroll in a CS POSt this spring, I better sit down and find a way to learn about trees.
If you want help with this feel free to come to my office hour, lots of people are having some difficulty with this and some explanations help. If its more of a difficulty applying them remember to draw lots of pictures, pictures are one of the best ways to see what is going on in a tree (Especially if you learn visually).
Thanks, I will try to drop by your office hour.
