Posted by Sim Mautner Monday 29 July 2024, 12:19:01 PM.

Hi everyone,

If you have specific questions you'd like me to cover in Thursday's lecture time, please post them as a comment on this post.

(You're still welcome to show up on the day and ask questions, but I'll be more prepared if I know ahead of time which questions/topics you'd like covered.)

Cheers,

Sim.

Today's lecture - postponed

Posted by Sim Mautner Monday 24 June 2024, 10:06:19 AM.

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately I fell sick during the night. I've been unable to find a replacement lecturer for today at this last minute, so we are postponing it.

The lecture will be held online sometime in the next day or two. I'll aim for tomorrow 11am-1pm assuming I'm feeling well enough.

Cheers,

Sim.

Week 5 Monday - code or content?

Posted by Sim Mautner Thursday 20 June 2024, 12:51:37 PM.

Hi everyone,

In week 4 Thursday we didn't write much (any) code. Please let me know if you'd like to spend some time implementing the functions for one or more of the graph representations discussed in Thursday's lecture, before we move on to Graph Traversals.

The poll is here: https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP2521/24T2/acti...

If students indicate that they'd like to write some code, I'll start the lecture by asking students which graph representation they're most interested in implementing together in the lecture.

Cheers,

Sim.

Hi everyone,

Welcome to COMP2521 - Data Structures and Algorithms.

First Lecture

Our first lecture is tomorrow (Monday) morning, 11am, in the Clancy Auditorium. If all goes well it will be streamed to YouTube. The link to the livestream is on the lectures page .

If you're enrolled in the online lecture, but would like to attend in person, you're welcome to show up. Our lecture theatre is much bigger than the enrolment limit would lead you to believe.

We have invited most of you to our Ed forum (using your @student.unsw.edu.au email). If you have not been added to the forum (this will be the case if you enrolled later), please follow these instructions to join. Hop on the forum and say hi!

Tutorials and Labs

Tutorials and labs start in week 1. Make sure you know your tutorial time and location . If you are in an online tutorial, these are held on Blackboard Collaborate, which you can learn how to access here .

See you all tomorrow :)
