Wed 11/22/06 before Thanksgiving Note that Wed Nov 22, 2006 is a Friday for NJIT. Therefore office hours will not be held. (note made on wed nov 15).
11/13/06 HW 5 is out. Subjects 10,11, and 12 are also out.
Next 3 weeks of classes The Thanksgiving recess will not affect this class. Lectures are scheduled for Nov 13, 20, 27. I plan to cover material related to Subjects 10, 11, and 12 before going back to Subjects 8,9.
11/09/06:PS4.P5/6 amendment You can stop the iterations of PageRank or the Kleinberg algorithm as long as the error is smaller than 10**-4 rather than the requested 10**-6 that seems a bit excessive.
11/03/06 Solutions for HW3 have been uploaded in the protected area.
11/01/06 I have problems responding to email because of afs (or hard-disk) problems.
10/20/06 Solutions for HW2 have been uploaded in the protected area.
HW3 ReadMatrix Read some clarifications here. Note that function prototypes are not necessarily correct C/C++/Java. It is impossible to do so in all three languages given that Java for example, does not have pointers. There has been an issue about the type of dimension n in ReadMatrix. Read the link for details.
Wed 10/18/06 4:30-5:30pm. The afternoon office hours will get cancelled because of an unforeseen meeting of the Undergraduate Curriculum Commitee. The morning hours will be held as scheduled.
10/16/06 HW 3 is out.
10/4/06 Solutions for HW1 have been uploaded in the protected area.
10/2/06 HW 2 is out.
9/18/06 HW 1 has been uploaded.
9/12/06The NJIT Web system has been misbehaving. Use web.njit.edu for www.cs.njit.edu as a prefix for the course-related URLs. Note that I have been experiencing email problems throughout the afternoon and had limited access to the web-page, afs, and email.
Web-page Some rare times the link to the course web-page may not work properly. Try to access the web-page by substituting web.njit.edu for www.cs.njit.edu as in http://web.njit.edu/~alexg/courses/cs667/index.html
