So next week we are having this LAST termtest and just one final waiting ahead...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3029262912921601689-4037167779852504720?l=bahallack.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bahalekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07800868583924578782noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029262912921601689.post-50791923412139278092008-11-19T00:22:00.001-08:002008-11-19T00:25:16.409-08:00Yaaaay!!! We have come to the end of the semester!!! The last problem set and the last assignment are due very very soon :))) The assignment doesnt seem to be very difficult :) At least the first two questions are similar to those we did in lecture...Soooo hope there will be no problems with that...<br /><br />So this week we were learning the regular expressions and languages...and proving that languages have regExes...<br /><br />I have just read the problem set 6...hope to start on it tomorrow...right now dont have the mood :S sooo tired...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3029262912921601689-5079192341213927809?l=bahallack.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bahalekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07800868583924578782noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029262912921601689.post-18119699661159780362008-11-10T13:17:00.000-08:002008-11-10T13:24:00.394-08:00OMG this month is crazy with all the assignments one has to do and all the midterms...And marks for the A2 were like a balm for the soul...I expected much worse :) Thnx TA's :)))))<div><br /></div><div>So last week we had this second TermTest and it was decent although I couldn't find the loop invariant for the last question, because of my stupid mistake assuming that m=n/2 (int div) from the beginning and sticking to that :(</div><div><br /></div><div>This week I just have the problem Set 5 to be done, but much much more from other courses I am taking...

Basically because I don't know the rules of a domino tournament, I don't know what happens when a player beats another player and in what order do players play...so I felt lost on that example... :S Sooo today when I was doing my assignment the question# 3 gave me a hard time but in the end I think I understood that by WOP if you can <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">always</span> find an element which is a bit less than the element already in the set it creates a contradiction..Is that right? :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Everything else is quite clear... </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3029262912921601689-2966647181845138167?l=bahallack.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bahalekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07800868583924578782noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029262912921601689.post-78783498116818473732008-09-18T20:38:00.000-07:002008-09-18T21:48:22.882-07:00Soooo...The second week of classes is about to end but it already feels like I have been studying for ages :) <div>Till now we have learned two flavors of induction : </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>1) Simple induction<br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>   <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>2) Complete induction<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The topics are not really difficult..In fact I seem to like induction... Especially the simple one :) </div><div><br /></div><div>There you need to define a base case first.. You may as well have several base cases although professor told that you had better get along with as few as you can, preferably just one so that you don't make your proof too long... After that you take inductive step which is actually where all the fun is... You assume that a statement is true for N and then prove that it is also true for N+1 basing your proof on the assumption you made earlier... I don't know why but I just like this step (:</div><div><br /></div><div>As for the complete induction you don't need the base step at all... As I got it, complete induction uses the assumption that a statement is true for all previous cases to prove the truthfulness of the current case.. For Example you take the current case and decompose it into several smaller cases which are true by your assumption... So this completes your proof... </div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway soon I will post some examples that I find interesting and worth posting...</div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3029262912921601689-7878349811681847373?l=bahallack.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bahalekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07800868583924578782noreply@blogger.com1
