Problem Set
You will
complete the problem set using Gradiance (http://www.gradiance.com/), an online learning
system, developed by a team led by professor Jeff Ullman.
You will need to create an account on Gradiance by following the instructions on the site. To sign up for our course, specify the class sign up token provided in class.
The name of the homework is MPCSDB Aut13 HW1. All questions in this
problem set are multiple choice. However, to answer them correctly
you will need to work out their long (general) answers. A correct
answer is worth 3 points. You lose a point for each incorrect
answer. You can attempt the problem set as many times as you like; only
your highest score will count. Note that you will probably get slightly
different questions each time you take it.
The due date for the Gradiance part of the homework is 11:59pm on Tuesday, October 8, 2013.
