Assignment 4

It is time to work on assignment 4, even if you are not done with the first 3 assignments and their quizzes. Your objective for this week is to become proficient in working with the Ford-Fulkerson Max Flow Min Cut algorithm. You will find links on the assignments page for java software that implements the algorithm. Don't just run it -- understand it. Do Quiz 4 and then go back and redo the other quizzes. Help one another. Read the notes again. When you are done, you should have a gut understanding of Dijkstra's algorithm and Ford-Fulkerson. We are coming up on the midterm soon, and you will need to be able to do this to get through it.

Contact me if you get stuck, but one way or another this is the time to get this right.

Please note that starting immediately, Monday office hours in B205 are being replaced by Friday office hours for the rest of the semester. Please also note that I have Skype office hours at 8 pm on Tuesdays.
