Current Announcements

  • Mark will be holding office hours on Fri Apr 25 from 4:30 to 7:30 in SW 627B.

    Course Materials

  • Syllabus

    Here are some additional course notes. They were prepared by instructors of CSC 363 on other campuses. So the notations and presentation style will differ somewhat from mine. Nevertheless, you might find them helpful.

  • If you need to miss the midterm (or an assignment) for medical reasons, make sure to read this discussion of acceptable doctor's notes .
  • Here is an old midterm from 2006, the last time that I taught this course.
  • Here's a description of the proof that PRIME is in NP.
  • Here are two proofs of Ladner's Theorem (by Fortnow).
  • Here are some lecture notes for the Mar 31 lecture.

  • Here is the 2006 final exam. I covered a bit more space complexity this year than I did in 2006. The 2008 final exam will include a list of NP-complete problems much like the list on the second page of the 2006 exam.

  • Here are some practice problems on determining whether sets are decidable and/or recognizable.
