Moving the Tutorial time

Dear Students,
due to a popular request we are considering to move the tutorial
to Tuesday 11:30 - 12:30.
(Hoping that this step will help some of you to wake up :)

As it is was previously told, we need a FULL consent of ALL the
registered students. For this purpose we are asking you to vote.
That is, send both of us - Amir & Ilya - an e-mail
(it can be the same one) with the subject: "Tutorial 236649"
which should include:
Your Name, ID Number, Faculty, Degree (1-st, 2-nd etc..)
and your vote: "agree" or "don't agree".

In the contrary to what will be decided upon HW submission,
this task should preformed in SINGLETONS,
though you are allowed to consult the possible answers.

We recommend you to fulfill your "democratic duty" and cast a vote
as the tutorial will remain at its current time until the very last vote is
made.

Note, that the votes of unregistered students may not be taken into
an account. And we would like to use this opportunity to urge
those of you who are considering to register to the course
to do so ASAP -
as we need to know the exact number of registered students.

Shabbat Shalom,
Amir & Ilya

Tutorial time
Dear students,

I got several requests to move the tutorial to Tuesday.
Indeed, some people find no better time to sleep than on
Sunday's afternoon tutorial.

The Technion's regulations require
a FULL consent of ALL the registered (to the course) students.

Consider this as a necessary and a sufficient condition.

Basic definitions online
Dear students,

You can find a file with the definitions of the basic algebraic structures
that will be used in the course on the course's site.
Site-> Course Material.

The main properties of those structures will be covered in the first
two tutorials.

Additional hard copies of the file will be spread on the lecture
for those of you who did not "honor" us on Sunday with their presence.

No tutorials before the first lecture
Hello all,
we hope that you enjoyed the "vacation" and come eagerly,
with new, refreshed, powers to solve algebraic problems in CS.
As for now, there will be no tutorials before the first lecture.

Unfortunately, there is still not enough information to give you
something more solid. We would like to use this opportunity
to wish you once again a pleasant (second) winter semester.
Stay tuned for more.
