What's New
- Are you for or against using plus or minus grades? - New, Purdue-Wide discussion!

Newsgroup
On the news.purdue.edu server: purdue.class.ece608
One way to access: SSH to a server at Purdue (ie expert.ics.purdue.edu) and type "lynx news.purdue.edu/purdue.class.ece608"
On Ubuntu, you can use the "Pan" newsreader.
- "sudo apt-get install pan"
- Set "news.purdue.edu" as the server. You do not need to enter login information.
- Type "purdue.class.ece608" in the box in the upper-left of the screen.
- After a delay (half a minute?) the newsgroup will appear in the left pane. You can right click the group to "subscribe".

4-4
Attempted solution for 4-4 part (d): $ T(n) = 3T(n/3+5)+n/2 $
We use the iteration method. Start with recursion tree:
- Root node: $ \frac{n}{2} $
- First level: $ 3\frac{\frac{n}{3}+5}{2} $
- Second level: $ 9\frac{\frac{n}{3}+5}{4} $
- ith level: $ \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^i\left(\frac{n}{3}+5\right) $
Note: above is not correct
$ \left(\frac{n}{3}+5\right)\sum{\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^i} $
Randomization (and prob 5.3-3)
As we've seen, Permute-With-All does not produce a uniform random permutation. Curious to see how it affects the distribution of permutations? Here's an experiment with the erroneous randomization algorithm: False randomize
In the solution given for this problem, their argument is that $ n^n $ is not a multiple of $ n! $ for $ n\ge 3 $. Intuitively, $ n! $ for $ n\ge 3 $ includes more than one prime factor, namely 2 and 3, whereas $ n^n $ of course has only one.
Prob 5.4-5
Is there an intuitive explanation as to why the nested summations in the solution evaluate to a "combination"?
