Slides for the weekly lectures will be posted to Course Contents. It has a link to the lecture slides (and more). Generally I will try to link relevant materials and mention relevant chapters of CLRS, KT and DPV, but the Course Content page and links therein do not replace attending lectures. Lectures and Tutorials are considered to be mandatory parts of the course.

Assignment 3 had a typo in Question 5. It has now been fixed. Note that in addition to earlier topics, the final exam will also cover topics that came after Assignment 2 and Term Test 2; namely the final will have questions relating to integer and linear programming, IP/LP rounding, approximation algorithms, and randomized algorithms.

Note also that for all excused absences we have modifed the grading scheme as agreed.
