Announcements (previous ones) or Follow @opt4eng 05 Jan: the midterm for this course has been moved to Monday, 23 February, as it has the least conflict with your other evening courses. 08 Feb: the due date for assignment 4 has been extended for you to be one week later. As a result, however, we will not accept any late assignments and we will post the solutions at the due time. This is because the solutions will be useful for studying for the midterm that comes just afterwards. 11 Feb: the class handout for Wednesday, 06B, had some errors when I presented. I've fixed that up in this revised handout, and made some small changes in red to better explain the search step \(\alpha\). 11 Feb: solutions to assignments 1, 2 and 3 are posted, and have been graded. 11 Feb: details about the midterm are posted. Please especially read the part about closed notes, and the cheat sheet. 13 Feb: there are no tutorials on Friday, 13 February and Monday, 23 February. Please use the time to start preparing for the midterm.
