Week 9 notes

Comp 163-002, Spring 2020, MWF, 12:35-1:25, in Mundelein 620

The primary goal of this course is to become familiar with some of the basic mathematical ideas used in programming.


Probability

I don't have a great source for this. There's some material in Lovasz & Vesztergombi on pp 51-54, and Aspnes 224-??. The math starts getting pretty dense after page 235.

I've started some notes on probability. This is a work in progress.

Wednesday: pick up with "I have two children; one is a boy"

Friday: Binomial distribution
