Exam B scans and final grades available | |
|
Exam B scans and final grades are available online. The final grades were calculated according to the following formulae: ExamBwithHW = ExamB*0.85+HW_AVG*0.15; finalB = ExamBwithHW < 54? min(54 , ExamBwithHW ) : ExamBwithHW + 12; Appeals should be sent electronically directly to David (exam scan + the content of the appeal), no later than 31/10. Wishing you a fruitful semester and good luck with the rest of your studies, David |

Final Grade factor | |
|
To clarify, the final grade was calculated according to the following formula: ExamAwithHW = ExamA*0.85+HW_AVG*0.15; finalA = ExamA < 50? min(54 , ExamAwithHW ) : ExamAwithHW + 12; Note that according to the syllabus, a grade below 55 in the exam would result in a failing grade in the course, whereas according to the above formula a grade below 50 would result in a failing grade. Regards, Course Staff |

Exam A scans and final grades | |
|
Exam scans can now be found online, as can your final grades, under "FinalA" in the grades system. Appeals should be sent electronically directly to me (exam scan + the content of the appeal), no later than 11/10. If you plan to take the Moed B but plan to appeal, you are advised to do so quickly and specify in your mail that you are taking the Moed B, so your appeal can be processed quickly. Good luck in the rest of your exams and Hag Sameach, David |

Correction to reference page | |
|
The reference pages (דף לבחינה) had a small error: if g:V->N is a topological ordering of G=(V,E), then if (i,j)\in E then g(i)<g(j), and not if and only if, as was stated. The pages were corrected and can be found under Course Material. Well done to Ido for noticing the error. Regards, Course Staff |

Some more announcements | |
|
Assuming your mail's spam detectors still allow you to receive mail from the course website.. Here's a recap of announcements made in class today: 1) As the first exam will take place before the due date of the 6th assignment, we will not consider the best 5 assignments' average to be your HW grade, but the best 4 assignments' grades' average. 2) To prepare for the studying period, we will have an extra lesson on Tuesday, 07/09, 17:00-19:00 (classroom will be announced later). During this extra lesson, David will solve (or at least give the general direction to solve) an exam. 3) Another reception hour will take place on the 13th (a day before the exam), as will reception hours of the Spring Semester's course. We encourage you to attend at least one of these. Regards, Course Staff |

Hint for question 5 of assignment 4 | |
|
We urge you to notice the fact any cut with infinite-capacity edge(s) is not a minimum cut (assuming there exists a finite-capacity cut). Use this to force only particular cuts to be minimum cuts. Good luck, Course Staff |

Clarification and correction to question 4 of assignment 4 | |
|
Here are to corrections and clarification regarding question 4 in the 4th assignment: - The change proposed by Tzvi is to add *the absolute value* of the arc with the smallest negative weight (obviously adding a negative value to all edge weights would not even make the weight function non-negative). - In section c, you are asked to modify Johnson's algorithm, as seen in class, to be able to recognize negative-weight cycles in the graph (in which case the algorithm may terminate with some error message of your choice).

In question 5 of assignment 3, the graph was stated to have no cycles, making the question trivial. The graph can, of course, have cycles. A corrected assignment 3 was uploaded. Regards, Course Staff |

Bonus for assignment 1 | |
